Made this tonight with berries I picked. I made individual size meringues which worked nicely. I also substituted macadamia nuts as pistachios were no where to be found. It was scrumptuous. I love meringues with berries...this is a great riff on that.

Hmmmm, the rosewater has me a little concerned. My men would not like that too much, but how about using orange flower water instead? I use that on strawberries sometimes

I made this yesterday and it was so much fun to make and even more fun to serve. everyone went crazy for the beautiful dessert! i live in Ontario and strawberries are in season here so I used local fare. Almost no other flavouring required! I did not have time to go to my local deli to pick up rose water so I used orange bitters. 1 tsp. Twas lovely. And toasted the pistachios for garnish. otherwise. I followed this recipe to a "t" and loved it! thanks.

Oh, Lord! I'll have to make this one... I love pavlova, pistachios and rosewater too--what a nice combination. My problem is finding non-salted pistachios, so, maybe I could sub for sliced almonds or Brazil-nuts? Mmmm...

I made it this weekend for a friend's birthday party. It was spectacular. Having to rely on January strawberries I simply added a bit more sugar and rose water (although not much). Thanks!

Made my first meringue this last weekend. I was worried because it rained and I thought it might effect the outcome, 90% humidity, but everything was wonderful. Thank you for a really delicious recipe that I can return to again and again.

I'm so happy you liked it! Yes, humidity can be a pain while making meringue, but sometimes it all comes together : )

Crepes stack like in style or recipes from orginally but to note it better be softer & baked under done on merginues layers or too crunchy to serve troubles on softening!

Looks good...but the first cut ruined the effect totally!! Individual meringues always work better.

I used a long, sharp, serrated knife and with a little bit of care, it was just fine. You can also make this as individual meringues or one large meringue like a traditional pavlova.

We liked that you start out with this beautiful, regal dessert and that it crumbles as you cut into it -- the destruction is part of the pleasure.

I love meringue too - can never get over how simple egg whites and sugar can turn into something so fabulous : )

I love meringue and berries, too. Do you know if someone who is allergic to roses would be allergic to rosewater? (That would be my husband...) Great recipe--congratulations on being a finalist.

Thanks! I don't know too much about allergies, so I can't risk an opinion. You could try the recipe with the combination of pure vanilla extract and almonds - I'm sure it would be delicious too. I also wonder how orange flower water would work with the flavors here.

Thanks, liz, that's what I'm thinking...but vanilla and almonds would be great!
