While the dispute over whether New Zealand or Australia can be credited as the creator of this globally renowned dessert still simmers, Sydney remains one of the best destinations to sample this classic Aussie dessert. Adored by fruit lovers and those with a sweet tooth alike, the crispy exterior of the white-hued dessert is perfectly balanced with a filling of stewed and sweetened fruits to create a mouth-watering dish that's served in nearly every bakery and coffee house in Sydney. Although a Pavlova is described as a "cake," flour plays no part of this egg-heavy dish that is typically served with a scoop of ice cream.
