Coconut Sugar Pavlovas with Blood Orange and Red Currants

Coconut Sugar Pavlovas with Blood Orange and Red Currants | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog recipe

i’m not gonna lie. last week was rough.

as a result of sleeping oddly with my little one for months, and carrying her now 25 pound body around most of the time, a wicked neck and shoulder spasm left me unable to move my head. and was crazy painful just moving anything. and then on came a bout of vertigo and a migraine. and of course, my husband left to go out of town, so i was on my own with to parent, feed, clean, and teach our three kids.

i am eternally grateful for icy/hot patches, forced stillness, my occasional babysitter, my mostly helpful 9-year old, epsom salt baths, chiropractors, massage therapists, and time. and my kids’ ipads. i’m recovering. and can move a bit better. despite of the fact that the world still spins a little when i do.

i recently read an awesome tweet that sums it up… “You know you’re getting old when all of your injuries are a result of ‘sleeping weird'”.

pretty much.

so a super simple dessert is called for. nothing difficult, but some easy whipping. whipping eggs. whipping cream. easy peasy.

i’ve sweetened these meringues partly with coconut sugar, which reduces the white sugar, gives the meringues a pretty color, and a delicious cooked sugar flavor. whipped cream and some pretty fruits make these coconut sugar pavlovas with blood orange and red currants so lovely and delicious, you’ll almost forget all that ails you.
