# Directions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. The cream should be fluffy but not stiff.
02 -
Break the pavlova or meringue nests into large uneven chunks. Ensure you have a mix of big and small pieces to add texture throughout the trifle.
03 -
Slice strawberries and mix them with other berries. If using passionfruit, scoop out the pulp and set aside. Alternatively, fold berries with a spoonful of compote for extra shine.
04 -
Start with a base of pavlova pieces, followed by a layer of vanilla custard, a layer of whipped cream, a layer of berries, and a drizzle of berry compote. Repeat until the trifle dish is full, ending with whipped cream on top.
05 -
Top with fresh berries, pavlova shards, mint leaves, pomegranate seeds, or white chocolate curls to enhance both flavor and presentation.
06 -
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld while the pavlova retains some crunch.
