Kiwi Pavlova with Lemon Cream

Kiwi Pavlova with Lemon Cream

From the pages of The “I Love My Air Fryer” Gluten-Free Recipe Book, this pavlova is everything! I experimented with different times and temperatures, but finally landed on the perfect combination. Crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle, this dessert is elegant and tasty. Because this is from my gluten-free book, there is sugar in this recipe; however, if you are following a paleo/keto/low-carb diet, I would suggest using a granular erythritol as a substitute.
If you’ve never had pavlova, make this recipe right now. Noted for its crispy exterior and
marshmallowy interior, this beautiful meringue-like dessert was named after Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova. Topped with cream and fresh fruit, this lovely dessert is sure to please.
