Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 meringue nests mini
  • 1 can peach halves 796ml/28oz (8 peach halves)
  • ⅓ sliced almonds
Amaretto Whipped Cream
  • 2 cups whipping cream 473ml, cold
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Amaretto Syrup
  • syrup from the canned peaches

Method
 

  1. Drain peaches and put the syrup into a small sauce pan on medium heat with the amaretto and almond extract. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer, and let simmer until reduced to half the volume. Let cool.
  2. In a bowl, using an electric mixer, whip cream for 4 - 5 minutes until you get stiff peaks.
To Assemble
  1. Place each meringue on a dessert plate.
  2. Top with a big dollop of whipped cream, making a bed for the peach.
  3. Place a peach on top.
  4. Drizzle the syrup over the peaches.
  5. Sprinkle the sliced almonds.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

I use the mini meringues so everyone gets their own pavlova. 
If you can't find them, you can use the larger ones and cut it like a cake to serve.
