With berry season in full force and seeing just about every recipe with some sort of berry included, I thought a keto dessert was in order. Pavlovas to me seemed like the perfect dish for a great crisp and a bright fresh flavor. Not only do they taste great, but all the ingredients come together to balance itself out.
The creamy filling paired with the fluffy, vanilla-infused crust makes for a perfect bite when the burst of the bright raspberry comes through. The richness and acidity balance each other out perfectly to create a dessert worth sharing. It ended up being quite great in macros, too! Feel free to grab a lemon slice and spritz over the top right before serving.

Yields 6 servings of Keto Raspberry Pavlovas
The Preparation
The Base
- 4 large egg whites
- ½ cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
The Topping
- 18 whole fresh raspberries (½ cup)
- 1-2 whole mint leaves
The Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 85 g frozen berries (½ cup)
The Execution
1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Separate 4 eggs carefully and beat the egg whites until they’re foamy. No egg yolk should be in the bowl!
2. Add in erythritol a little at a time while beating. The mixture should result in stiff peaks. Once it’s stiff, add in vanilla and lemon juice and xanthan gum and fold in with a silicone spatula.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a pencil to outline a cup or bowl to guide you when spooning the pavlova mixture. This recipe makes 6 mini pavlovas about 5 inches in diameter.
4. Spoon the pavlova batter so that it’s roughly the size of each circle you’ve drawn. Using the back of a spoon, create a dip/well in the center for the filling later.
5. Bake for an hour. The pavlovas should turn a crisp, golden brown.
6. While the pavlovas are cooling, prepare the creamy filling. Measure out 85 grams of mixed frozen berries. Strawberries, blueberries and blackberries work well to make a beautiful purple color.
7. Blend with a cup of heavy cream for about 3 minutes so the mixture is thick enough to spoon.
8. Spoon some of the frozen berry mixture into each pavlova.
9. Garnish with some fresh raspberries and enjoy!
