โ˜• Coffee Pavlova

Coffee Pavlova brings coffee into the kitchen as a real ingredient, not a garnish. This recipe belongs to the Coffee Desserts & Sweets collection and uses espresso powder to adds roasted depth to meringue dessert. The goal is a balanced dish in which coffee supports the other ingredients while still contributing its own roasted character.

โ˜• The recommended starting point is a Medium Roast. A balanced roast preserves the light texture while adding complexity.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips for the Best Result

  • Let the finished dessert cool or chill as directed before judging the final coffee flavor.
  • Use fresh coffee and keep the grind or powder appropriate to the recipe so texture stays clean.

๐Ÿด Serving & Storage
