Citrus Pavlova
Individual format not available for order on Wednesday, December 24, 2025.
Our Pavolova, always gluten-free, takes up winter residence to enhance the flavour of citrus fruits, seasonal fruits that awaken the senses when the cold weather arrives. Their tangy notes bring freshness to the sweetness of the meringue and the fragrant roundness of the Chantilly cream with orange blossom water. The delicate petals made of fresh Buddha’s hand fruit, candied by us, deliciously highlight its subtle flavours and interplay of textures.
