Crispy, sweet meringues are an exquisite yet simple dessert that many adore. Meringues serve as the foundation for the well-known French dessert “Pavlova.” They reach a new level of delectability when paired with the right cream. In this article, I’ll introduce you to a delicate walnut cream designed to perfectly enhance this simple dessert, bringing a delightful surprise to both you and your guests.
I opt for ready-made meringues, which I purchase from Trader Joe’s or French bakeries to save time. Here is my favorite and delicious recipe for walnut cream to go with meringues.
