What is Pavlova?

Pavlova is a classic dessert named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. It features a crisp meringue base with a soft, marshmallow-like interior, topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits. The combination of textures and flavors makes Pavlova a delightful treat, perfect for showcasing seasonal berries and aromatic vanilla cream.

Why NOROHY Vanilla Beans are Perfect for This Recipe

NOROHY's Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans are the ideal choice for this Pavlova recipe due to their exceptional quality and versatility. The beans are plump, oily, and rich in seeds, ensuring a robust infusion of flavor that enhances the vanilla cream. Their sweet, floral aroma adds a sophisticated depth to the dessert, making it a standout choice for gourmet enthusiasts.

The process of splitting and scraping the vanilla beans allows for maximum flavor extraction, ensuring that the vanilla cream is infused with the rich, aromatic essence of Madagascar vanilla. This technique is favored by professional chefs who appreciate the beans' ability to transform simple recipes into extraordinary culinary experiences.

In addition to the vanilla beans, NOROHY offers a range of vanilla products that can be used to elevate your Pavlova and other desserts:

  • Vanilla Paste: This smooth, easy-to-dose paste combines ground vanilla pods, extract, and a touch of cane sugar. It offers intense floral and woody notes, making it perfect for adding a concentrated vanilla flavor to the cream without the need for scraping seeds.

  • Vanilla Extract: A seed-free liquid extract that delivers immediate flavor, ideal for smooth preparations like the vanilla cream. The extract provides a consistent vanilla taste, ensuring that the Pavlova maintains its aromatic profile throughout.

These products are crafted to inspire creativity in the kitchen, allowing chefs and home cooks to explore various culinary techniques and flavor combinations. Whether you're infusing the vanilla cream with beans, enhancing it with paste, or adding a touch of extract, NOROHY's vanilla products ensure a gourmet experience that delights the senses.
