Rather than baking pavlovas in the oven, home cooks are now baking the iconic Australian dessert in their slow cookers
Hundreds rejoiced over the clever idea with many trying the new baking tactic themselves and sharing the results online
This isn’t the first slow cooker meal to impress online, with home cooks previously making pavlova in their device.
The dessert is made by combining egg whites, caster sugar, vinegar and corn flour then placing the mixture into a lined slow cooker and baking for one-and-a-half to two hours.
‘Oh my goodness I have been craving pavlova for weeks! I’m going to give this a go this weekend,’ one woman said of the dessert.
‘I just attempted this! Thank you so much for the recipe – so easy, mine needed at least two hours,’ another added and shared a picture of her pavlova.
