Pavlova with Wattleseed is a classic Australian dessert that has been enjoyed for many years. It is named after Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, who toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. This dessert typically consists of a sweet meringue base, topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. However, this unique variation uses wattleseed extract and mixed spice to give the dessert a distinctly Australian flavor.
