Some women want diamonds for Christmas. All I want is local produce. We’ve really been missing the fresh produce from California. I heard a rumor at work that the FFA kids in Kansas sell big cartons of local citrus and avocados around the holidays. I dreamed about it. I lusted after it. Citrus and avocados in Kansas---could it really be true? And then! I came home from work on Thursday to find that Mr. Dessert For Two bought a carton from his coworker’s son. I didn’t even tell him I had heard about this glorious thing! He just knew that avocados the size of a linebacker’s fist and dozens upon dozens of sweet oranges, ruby red grapefruits and fresh lemons right off the tree were my dream for the holidays.
I’ve been gobbling up citrus like a monkey lately, but I paused for a day to dream up citrus desserts for you. In a world of holiday cookies and sweet fudge, I thought you might need an impressive (yet effortless) festive holiday dessert. What’s not to love about pavlova? The crisp shell remains slightly chewy and marshmallow-y on the inside, and the thick layer of fresh whipped cream and fruit on top is divine. The effortless part is that this contains only 5 ingredients. Egg whites, sugar, cream, fresh cranberries and an orange.
These festive pavlovas are super delicious!Cranberry Orange Pavlova

These are so pretty! And anything pavlova always reminds me of Ina Garten. Which means that now you're basically her, just prettier and more awesome ;)

I think you just created my dream dessert, although I've never had a pavlova before... but it's not super sweet chocolate and fudge so I love it! Can't wait to make it! And I want to hear more about wedding planning!!
