Keto Pavlova
This pavlova topped with sugar-free candied nuts is a definite showstopper! 🤩
Most pavlovas are then topped with fresh berries, but for a Holiday twist, I used my sugar-free candied macadamia and brasil nuts, a drizzle of keto maple syrup and some sea salt dark chocolate shavings.
Pavlovas are just one of the great ways to use up leftover egg whites. Alternatively, if you are ending up with leftover egg yolks, be sure to check out our Keto Eggnog or Salt Cured Egg Yolk recipes.

Directions
Preheat oven to 250F.
Using a handmixer, beat the egg whites until frothy. Continue mixing, and gradually add the powdered stevia and cream of tartar.
Once the egg whites begin to form stiff peaks, beat in xanthan gum, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Transfer the pavlova batter to a parchment lined baking sheet, forming a elevated patty in a cake shape.
Bake for 60 min, then turn off the oven. Leave the pavlova in the closed oven for 4 hours to overnight. This will allow the exterior to dry and crisp up.
Before serving, prepare the whipped cream. Whisk together the 35% cream, stevia and vanilla extract until they form stiff peaks, about 5 min.
Top the pavlova with whipped cream, then garnish with toppings of choice.
For a holiday twist, this pavlova was topped with candied nuts (see our Sugar-free Candied Nut recipe), a drizzle of keto maple syrup and some sea salt dark chocolate shavings.
