How To Make Keto Pavlova
My keto friendly pavlova is a gorgeous dessert that looks fancy, but it’s actually pretty easy! Let me show you how to make this sugar free pavlova dessert:
- Make meringue. Mix cream of tartar and egg whites using a hand mixer, until frothy. Add the Besti sweetener 1/2 cup at a time, while mixing, until stiff peaks form.
- Finish mixing meringue. Gently fold in lemon juice, vanilla, and xanthan gum to stiffened egg whites. Be careful to not deflate the meringue!
- Bake meringue. Spread the egg white mixture onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and form it into a circle. Smooth out the sugar-free pavlova with a spatula and create a slight well in the center. Dab the spatula around the sides to make soft peaks. Bake for 60 minutes.
- Make sugar-free pavlova toppings. Make keto whipped cream and slice strawberries.
- Assemble the pavlova keto recipe. Once cooled completely, dollop and smooth the whipped cream into the center of the sugar-free pavlova and add the berries on top.
Is Pavlova Keto?
Most pavlova recipes are going to be made with sugar and wouldn’t be keto. But, in this sugar free pavlova recipe, we’re using Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener with erythritol, which keeps the carbs in pavlova to just 1.5 grams net carbs per serving.
This sugar free pavlova dessert is low in carbs, calories, and fat! That’s rare for a treat.
Do You Have To Use Cream Of Tartar To Make Sugar Free Meringue Pavlova?
The cream of tartar in this easy keto pavlova recipe is used to stabilize the egg whites, which basically means they whip to form peaks much more easily.
If you don’t have cream of tartar, you can use an equal amount of white vinegar.
Can I Use A Different Sweetener?
Yes, you can use either powdered version of Besti Monk Fruit – Powdered Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend or Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – we can’t vouch for others.
Check our keto sweetener comparison here for the differences.
Can you make Pavlova Ahead Of Time?
Yes, you can make the meringue part ahead, wrap in plastic, and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Add the whipped cream and berries right before serving.
However, how well make-ahead low sugar pavlova will keep is also impacted by humidity – if your fridge is humid, it won’t store well.

Hi Maya, I love your recipes. In fact, I have a double batch of your shortbread cookies in the oven now. I want to make this as 8 single servings. How would I store these as a make ahead the day before?

Thank you, Laura! We haven’t tried it as single servings, it would probably work but may require a shorter baking time. Storage instructions are in the post above.
