When I was in the US for a few months with my ex, i used to cook pavlova as an example of Australian cuisine. We never once managed to track down passionfruit though. Passionfruit and mango are the best toppings.
I can definitely get passionfruit in Canada

Is that a Christmas dish?

If I wasn't a fatso with early signs of insulin resistance I would make it at least every week.

With fresh mango and other tropical fruit it tends to be a Summer dish, and I always make it for Xmas. But it's not specifically a Christmas dish. You can make it with other fruits like berries, and grated chocolate works well too.

You're all set then. Share pics if you decide to make it.

This is a pretty good tutorial.

I use 8 egg whites and 500 ml of caster sugar.

She cooks it hotter than I would. Which is okay, but hers is a bit harder and browner than mine. I cook it at 110 (fan forced)

Also she whisked in the corn flour. Traditionally you fold it in gently after mixing.

I would say that pavlova is about a 4/10 degree of difficulty to make.

90% of the difficulty is getting it off the baking sheet and onto a serving plate. I just serve if off the original baking tray and baking sheet, problem solved. If you can whip cream you can make a pav.
