Have you ever made a dessert in your air fryer? If not, try this easy Keto Chocolate Pavlova!

It's made with fluffy meringue, whipped cream, and fresh berries. Give it a try and impress your friends and family with a healthier dessert option.
Recipe Tips and Swaps
This Keto Chocolate Pavlova is naturally nut-free and can be made dairy-free by using coconut cream or yogurt instead of dairy cream.
Don't waste the egg yolks! Use any leftover egg yolks to make a batch of Garlic Mayonnaise or Lemon Curd!
Topping Variations
You can add any berries you like, or skip them and use some grated dark chocolate. Here are some more options for your Keto Chocolate Pavlova:
- Chocolate Cream: Add a tablespoon of cacao powder to the whipped cream for a chocolatey topping.
- Dark Chocolate Shavings: Sprinkle some dark chocolate shavings or add dark chocolate chips on top for extra flavor and texture. You can use 85-90% dark chocolate, or sugar-free chocolate (white, milk or dark).
- Boozy Cream Topping: Mix in a tablespoon of rum or whiskey to the whipped cream for a boozy twist. Speaking of boozy chocolate cream, you may also like these Boozy Keto Chocolate Mousse Bowls!

Step-by-step
Crack the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a large clean bowl or mixer.
Note: Use leftover egg yolks to make a batch of Garlic Mayonnaise or Lemon Curd!
Beat on medium-low speed for 2 minutes until foamy. Add cream of tartar (or apple cider vinegar).
Gradually add the sweetener, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Sift in cacao powder and gently fold with a rubber spatula without deflating the egg whites.
Note: For best results use Allulose. Unlike Erythritol-based sweeteners, Allulose will caramelize with no aftertaste and no crystallization once chilled.)
Place parchment paper in the air fryer. Spoon the mixture into a round shape, leaving a 1-inch gap from the sides.
Create a nest in the middle to hold the whipped cream and berries after baking.
Set the air fryer to 120 °C/ 250 °F and cook for 40 minutes, checking once or twice.
Note: I used the "Roast" settings on my air fryer. For oven baking instructions, see this recipe.
Once cooked, open the air fryer and let it cool down completely before removing from the air fryer and adding the topping.
Whip the cream with 2 tablespoons of Allulose and vanilla. (Optionally, add a tablespoon of cacao powder for chocolate cream.)
Top the cooled meringue with whipped cream and fresh berries. (Optionally, add dark chocolate shavings or a tablespoon of rum/whiskey for a boozy cream topping.)
Slice and serve immediately. To store, keep the baked meringue in an airtight container separate from the cream in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble right before serving.

This looks so yum! 🍫✨ The rich chocolate with meringue sounds like a perfect treat. Do you think I could just skip the berries though? Can't wait to give it a go!
100%! You could just add some grated dark chocolate on top 😊
Just made this in my air fryer, and it turned out soooo good!😍 It's surprisingly easy to make for such a fancy dessert!
Thank you so much, so true!
What a yummy recipe! The airy meringue, rich chocolate, and fresh berries made the perfect dessert for our Sunday lunch.
❤️
Wow, this keto chocolate pavlova was such a treat! 😍 I got my air fryer 3 months ago and so far it's one of the best air fryer recipes I've tried. Plus crunchy chicken of course!
Thank you Lily, that means a lot!
This looks absolutely dreamy! Just tried making it, can't believe how simple it is in an air fryer! Quick question: Do fresh strawberries keep well sitting on the pavlova, or should they be added right before serving for optimal texture?
Hi Bella, it's best to assemble the pavlova just before serving so it doesn't get soggy/soft. I'd add the cream and the berries just before serving.
I can't believe how delicious and simple this keto chocolate pavlova was to make—it was perfect.
Thank you so much!
Wow, this pavlova turned out amazing! ✨ Tried it with mix-in of raspberries, and the flavor was divine. Definitely a keeper.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, Megan!
This pavlova looks mind-blowing! 😊 I never dreamt of making such a lovely dessert with an air fryer–must try it. Quick question: If I swap heavy whipping cream for coconut cream, will it impact the net carbs much thanks!
There will be a slight increase but not significant! You can actually customize any of these recipes in our app - it's super easy and takes seconds 😊 We now offer 25% Off KetoDiet App Membership: ketodietapp.com/membership/direct
Love it! I made it, and it's a dead easy game changer for keto desserts— might try the chocolate cream next! 😊
Thank you so much! If you love chocolate, the chocolate cream is great. You could even try drizzling some melted 90% chocolate into the cream. This will make it thicker, closer to chocolate mousse.
My air fryer never fails me, but this keto chocolate pavlova is a game changer—seriously delicious and so easy to whip up!
So great to hear!
This pavlova turned out such a lovely treat! The mix of chocolate, meringue, and fresh berries was SO GOOD. I loved how simple it was to make in the air fryer. Thank you for the best keto recipes, they never fail!
Thank you Lisa, that is so kind of you to say!
Wow, this looks absolutely divine 😍! I'm really curious, will using coconut cream change much about the flavor compared to dairy cream? Can't wait to try it myself!
I'd say yes. I personally prefer whipped cream but coconut cream is okay if you don't mind the flavor. It's slightly sweeter and you will taste the coconut. I think it's still delicious though!
This looks delicious and I’m so excited to try it in the air fryer! Love the mix of chocolate and fresh berries with the sugar-free meringue—it’s perfect for a summer dessert. Quick question though: if I don't have an air fryer, will making it in the oven affect the texture or taste? Really appreciate the helpful tips for dairy-free substitutes too. Thanks for sharing such a unique and healthy recipe!
Not at all! You can use the oven tips and as long as you follow the time & temperature instructions you'll get very similar results 😊
This was amazing! Can't believe you can make dessert in an air fryer! Thanks for such a great keto treat idea 😊
Can't wait to try making this in my air fryer. FYI I did make your vanilla pavlova so I know this will be great! Quick question: Does the batter have to be super stiff before it goes into the air fryer? I'm always nervous about getting meringues just right. Thanks for the wonderful idea ❤️
Hi Laura, yes, ideally you want it stiff as that will help you achieve the right shape. When you add the cacao powder, it will soften a bit and that is fine.
Yum! This pavlova recipe looks dreamy! Just wondering, what would happen if I used stevia instead of allulose? Give it a little try ? Can't wait to impress my friends with this new dessert!
Hi Stephanie, stevia wouldn't work as the powdered sweetener is important for the texture. If you don't use it but use liquid stevia drops instead, it won't hold its shape.
This looks absolutely delish! I’m thinking about swapping the coconut cream instead of dairy to make it dairy-free. What do you think, would there be a big difference in texture/flavor? Thanks so much for the awesome recipe!
Hi Jessica, coconut cream is a great swap! It will be a bit more rich and will have a coconut taste if you don't mind that. You could, however, make it a LOT fluffier if you use this guide: How To Make Perfectly Fluffy Whipped Coconut Cream
This looks fantastic! I never thought about using the air fryer to make dessert. Quick question: Can I use powdered erythritol instead of allulose without losing texture or flavor? Thank you for such an inspiring recipe!
Right?! I love my air-fryer! You can definitely use erythritol, it will actually make the pavlova a bit more crunchy on the outside and will not brown that easily, which is usually preferred in a Pavlova. The reason I used Allulose is just personal preference.
