Mary Berry Pavlova Wreath
A delicious pavlova wreath inspired by Mary Berry, this dessert is an absolute showstopper perfect for Christmas and all occasions. It’s flavoured with whipped cream, fruits and a homemade strawberry coulis.

It has a deliciously crispy white shell with a soft marshmallow-like centre. Plus, it’s topped with freshly whipped cream, summer berries and a homemade strawberry coulis – what more could you ask for?

Mary Berry Pavlova
Pavlovas are one of those desserts that look quite intimidating but in reality, it’s quite simple to make.
Trust me, making meringue is a lot easier than you might think, especially with Mary Berry’s pavlova meringue recipe at hand. This UK classic is pretty much foolproof and works for me every time!
I’ve added a homemade strawberry coulis taken from my mini meringue nests recipe (that’s filled with a white chocolate ganache) and oh my it takes this basic meringue wreath to a whole new level.
Though this meringue recipe is in a wreath shape, you can mould it into a classic pavlova shape or make mini pavlovas instead. This berry pavlova is perfect for summer, but the wreath shape makes it great for Christmas too.

Christmas Pavlova Wreath Recipe
This pavlova wreath is your answer to the best Christmas dessert ever! It’s in a wreath shape, it can be made ahead of time, it tastes so good and it feeds many mouths.
You only need a few simple ingredients, and you can decorate the pavlova with whatever fruits or toppings you like.

Recipe Ingredients
Below are the ingredients needed to make this pavlova recipe, including the 4 recipe ingredients used to make the best meringue by Mary Berry:
Mary Berry Meringue Recipe
- Eggs: I used 6 large eggs that were stored at room temperature (cold eggs are harder to whip)
- Caster Sugar: Caster sugar is the best type of sugar for meringue as the size of the grains dissolve easily.
- White Wine Vinegar: Strengthens the whipped egg whites and makes it more stable.
- Cornflour: Cornflour is mixed into white wine vinegar which strengthens the mixture and helps create the marshmallow centre.
Pavlova Filling
- Double Cream: Whipped to create the pavlova base filling.
- Vanilla Extract: Added to flavour the whipped cream.
- Icing Sugar: Sweetens the whipped cream and also helps to stabilise the mixture.
- Fruit: I like to add summer berries to this pavlova recipe, but you can use any fruit that you like.
Strawberry Coulis
- Strawberries: Use fresh strawberries and cut them into quarters.
- Icing Sugar: Needed to create the coulis texture and add sweetness.
