December – May 2103
New Zealand’s specialty dessert is pavlova. A meringue shell is baked to be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, then topped with berries and whipped cream. It’s especially popular in the summer and, like pumpkin pie is the standard American holiday dessert, Pavlova is the standard Kiwi holiday dessert. It’s delicious, and I’m surprised it’s not more popular in America. –Cyndi
