Winter Citrus Pavlova
Greg DuPree
Simply put, this dessert is a showstopper.
It’s not a one-bowl affair; it requires some time.
The patties are extravagantly seasoned with shallot, cilantro, sriracha, and garlic.

You start with cold butter, so there’s no need to wait for it to soften.
While the recipe calls to bake them up huge, you could make them whatever size you want.
Just keep an eye on them in the oven so they don’t over bake.

It’s super easy.

There is so much to love about this pretty, fruit-studded cake.
First, there’s no mixer required.

Second, it’s deliciously tender thanks to ricotta in the batter.
Fourth, it’s flexible; use fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries instead of cranberries.
You save lots of time by starting with store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough.

Bake it into little cups and fill it with a mixture of whipped cream, ricotta, and lemon.
It’s like a chocolate chip cookie and a cannoli had a delicious baby.
