Pavlova Question

[Daydream Believer]

Does anyone know how far in advance I can make the pavlova shell? We wont be decorating/putting toppings on it until it will be served at Christmas lunch

I'd take a guess at the day before you need it. I think it would collapse if it was sitting around for longer than 24 hours (despite not being decorated).

We're making pavlova for Xmas day too - yum

Yeah I wouldn't got much longer than a day - it could go all sticky if it's humid too.

Coolies, thanks!
