Mini pavlovy dortíčky

Mini Pavlova cakes are exactly the kind of sweet that always attracts attention on a festive table. A delicate meringue shell that is crispy on the outside and soft inside, complemented by a light cream-and-mascarpone filling and juicy fruit. The result is elegant, fresh and incredibly delicate. And the best part? You make them from a few basic ingredients and without complicated technique.

For 12 portions

Ingredients

Meringue shells:

Cream and decoration:

Preparation procedure

  • Shells Whip the egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until the meringue is smooth, glossy and very firm. Fold in the lemon juice and briefly whisk. Finally, fold in the cornstarch by hand. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and pipe small cups with a hollow center onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Dry in the oven at 100 °C for about 120 minutes, until the shells are completely dry on the surface. Let cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar so they don't collapse.
  • Cream Mix the mascarpone with the vanilla and powdered sugar. Pour in the cream and whip into a firm cream that holds its shape.
  • Finishing Place a few blueberries into the center of the cooled meringue cups. Pipe the cream on top and decorate with additional fruit. Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips for perfect mini pavlovas

  • Egg whites must be completely free of yolk in order to whip properly.

  • Use powdered, not granulated sugar – it ensures a smooth surface and faster dissolving.

  • It’s better to prepare the shells a day in advance; they dry beautifully and don’t absorb moisture from the cream.

  • Fruit will release juice over time, so decorate only just before serving.
