I was really looking forward to trying Ina's pavlova. While I will try this concept again, I will never try this recipe again. I'm sure Ina didn't follow it to get the results she did! I finally got it right but it took about a 3 tries to do so. PLEASE LISTEN TO OTHERS ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE. Cooking it at 180 degrees would take about 12 hours!! Using another meringue recipe, and baking it at 300 for 1.5 hours I finally got a light and fluffy meringue.
Another misconception...the desert did not work out so well prepared in advance. The meringue deflated and became chewy and the whipped cream turned very runny. Fortunately my guests understood when I served them a very unappetizing looking desert.

Unfortunately I made this recipe via Ina's book "Barefoot Contessa: Parties" and I didn't see all these wonderful suggestions for increasing the temperature until it was too late!
Even though my pavlova turned out quite underdone, I was able to salvage it by turning it into a parfait! Just took some juice glasses and filled the bottom with whipped cream, berries in the middle w/ a little sauce...then the "merangue" on top with more sauce drizzled. YUM! It was a fantastic presentation and no one was the wiser! Plus it saved me from having to cut up such a messy desert -- hooray for individual servings!

To respond to an earlier review, I JUST watched the episode, and she does say two teaspoons, like the recipe called for, NOT two tablespoons. Maybe the problem is that no one is leaving the pavlova in the oven after it is finished for the remaining time. I made it exactly from the recipe and it turned out perfect.

I do a lot of cooking and thought better of following the meringue recipe for the Pavlova but I thought, "Hey it's Ina."
I wish I had read the reviews first, it would have saved me from this recipe. Follow another pavlova shell recipe, the temperature here is far too low, you'll end up with a gooey mess, one that our family dog wouldn't even eat, now that's saying something.
A quick batch of shortcakes saved our evening.

This was so easy to make. The only difficult part was inverting onto a plate as the meringue is very delicate. This is a great dessert for summer, your oven is set at 180 (won't heat up your kitchen and you could probably substitute the berries for others fruit in season.

This dessert has been a hit whenever I have made it for family dinners. The meringue is easy to make and it is the perfect base for the whipped cream and mixed berries. The presentation always wows our guests and you will always remember the first bite. Another perfect recipe from our Ina!

I made this last night and heeded the baking instructions below by turning the oven down to 300 before I put the meringue in. It turned out light brown instead of white like Ina's, but everyone agreed that the crispness of the meringue was the best quality of the dessert. I would add the berries onto each individual serving so that any leftovers don't get soggy from the juice.
