How about a crispy meringue layer cake, stuffed with blackberry and dried cherry compote and gussied up with coconut whipped cream? It could be sanctioned, if you either left off the coconut whipped cream or seriously limited it … your choice! Either way ~ it’s a gorgeous cake with lots of great flavor and fun, won’t last long!

 

The great thing about keeping it clean is, the Pavlova is a beautiful way to enjoy a fat free dessert that is delicious,dramatic and playful.
