Celebrate the holiday season with this stunning Christmas Tree Pavlova! A light, airy meringue base is topped with fluffy whipped cream and adorned with fresh berries to resemble a beautiful Christmas tree. This elegant dessert is as delightful to look at as it is to eat, making it the perfect centerpiece for your festive table. It’s a showstopper that combines texture, sweetness, and vibrant flavors to bring joy to every bite.

Ingredients:

For the Pavlova Base:

• 6 extra-large egg whites (room temperature)
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
• 2 teaspoons corn flour

For the Topping:

• 600ml thickened cream
• 1 tablespoon icing sugar
• 2 x 125g punnets of fresh raspberries
• 250g fresh strawberries, sliced

Optional Decoration:

• Fresh mint leaves
• A dusting of icing sugar for a snowy effect

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Draw a large circle (about 25cm) and two smaller circles (15cm and 10cm) on the paper as a guide for stacking your pavlova layers.
2. Make the Meringue: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating continuously until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks. This may take 6-8 minutes. Sift in the corn flour and gently fold it into the meringue with a spatula until just combined.
3. Shape and Bake the Meringue: Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking paper, forming three distinct circles (large, medium, and small) as drawn earlier. Smooth the tops slightly to make them level. Bake the meringue layers in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until crisp but still soft inside. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven (this prevents cracking).
4. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, whip the thickened cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
5. Assemble the Pavlova Tree: Place the largest meringue circle on a serving platter. Spread a layer of whipped cream evenly on top. Add the medium-sized meringue layer and spread more whipped cream. Finally, place the smallest meringue layer on top and spread the remaining whipped cream generously over the top and sides to create a snowy effect.
6. Decorate: Arrange the raspberries and strawberry slices around the pavlova layers to resemble ornaments and garlands. For a festive touch, add fresh mint leaves and lightly dust the pavlova with icing sugar to mimic fresh snow.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a crisp texture or store in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This Christmas Tree Pavlova is a visually stunning and irresistibly delicious dessert perfect for the holidays. The crisp meringue, soft whipped cream, and fresh berries come together to create a festive treat that’s light, flavorful, and ideal for any Christmas celebration. A dessert that looks as good as it tastes—guaranteed to impress your guests and make the season even sweeter!

• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• 4 tsp red food coloring
• 2/3 cup buttermilk at room temperature
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp white vinegar

For the Oreo Cheesecake Layer:

• 10 Oreo cookies filling removed, wafers crushed, for the crust
• 24 oz full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
• Oreo filling from the above 10 cookies
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sour cream at room temperature
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk at room temperature
• 15 Oreos chopped, for texture

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

For Decoration:

• 1 can store-bought cream cheese frosting
• 8 chopped Oreos for garnish

Method

 

1. Prepare the Red Velvet Cake Layer : Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the red food coloring. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the baking soda and vinegar until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
2. Make the Oreo Cheesecake Layer Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Spread the crushed Oreo wafers evenly over the cooled cake layer, pressing gently to form a thin crust. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, Oreo filling, and sugar until smooth. Add the cornstarch and mix well. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract until combined. Add the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, mixing gently to avoid overbeating. Fold in the chopped Oreos. Pour the cheesecake batter over the Oreo crust in the springform pan. Place the pan in a water bath and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is just set. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache : Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool slightly before spreading it evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
4. Decorate and Serve : Pipe cream cheese frosting around the edges of the cheesecake for decoration. Sprinkle chopped Oreos on top as garnish. Slice and serve chilled for the ultimate dessert experience.
