I looked up recipes for Pavlova. OMG that looks so good. I'm confused about something, though. Both you and a cooking website described the center as a kind of marshmallow filling. But the recipes that I found all called for whipped heavy cream. I wouldn't call whipped cream "marshmallowy".
What is the NZ take on my confusion? I'm going to use some nice ripe fruit. I'm definitely making it. I just want to get it right to begin with.
