- Bake the meringue in a preheated oven at 100°C (212°F) in a convection setting for approximately 2 hours until it becomes dry and crisp.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer or a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and pistachio paste. Start beating at high speed, gradually adding the powdered sugar. Continue beating until the whipped cream is firm and forms stiff peaks.
- Pipe the pistachio mascarpone whipped cream onto the cooled meringue.
- Decorate the cake with fresh fruits of your choice. You can also crumble freeze-dried raspberries on top for added texture and flavor.
- Serve the pistachio pavlova immediately or refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
