Rhubarb Mandarin Pavlovas with Pistachio Dukkah

a lil spring time dessert I whipped up this weekend.

Was going to a friend’s dinner party and decided to throw together a little dessert to bring. I love using pavlova’s a vehicle for funky flavor combinations and fresh fruit, so shout out to all of my paid subscribers this one’s for you!

Components:

Rhubarb is now in season and it’s not something that I grew up eating, but I love the fresh and sour flavor that it adds to balance out the sweet meringue and stabilized whip cream.

To add texture, and to use up a bunch of these pistachios I received in the mail, I whipped up a pistachio dukkah. Dukkah is a Middle Eastern blend of nuts, seeds, and spices. Below you’ll find my approximation of the blend I used but feel free to sub in nuts and spices with what you have in your pantry.

Now that I’ve written this out, I realize there are kind of a lot of components. But I swear, each one is easy to make. And it’s totally worth it. Promise!
