Air Fryer Keto Vanilla Berry Pavlova (low-carb, sugar-free, gluten-free)

Have you ever made a dessert in your air fryer? Try this easy holiday inspired keto Pavlova!

I've been using my my Air Fryer for all sorts of dishes including Crispy Garlic Chicken, Bacon & Cheese Egg Cups and even veggie sides like these Roasted Ranch Radishes.

This Keto Vanilla Berry Pavlova was my first dessert made in the air fryer. Compared to this keto Pavlova made in the oven, it was quicker and the browning seemed more even. I can't wait to try even more desserts and share them with you.

Recipe Tips

This dessert is naturally nut-free. You can also make it dairy-free by simply using coconut cream or yogurt instead of dairy cream.

Don't waste the egg yolks! Remember, you can use any leftover egg yolks to make a batch of Garlic Mayonnaise or Lemon Curd!

Step-by-step

  1. Crack the eggs and separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the egg whites into a large clean bowl or a mixer.
    Note: Use leftover egg yolks to make a batch of Garlic Mayonnaise or Lemon Curd!

  2. Start beating the egg whites on medium-low speed. Continue for about 2 minutes until the whites become foamy. Then, add the cream of tartar (or apple cider vinegar).

  3. Add the sweetener, a tablespoon at a time. Keep beating until they reach a stiff-peak and glossy stage.
    Note: For best results use Allulose. Unlike Erythritol-based sweeteners, Allulose will caramelize with no aftertaste and no crystallization once chilled.)

  4. Place a piece of parchment paper inside your air fryer (round cake parchment works best). Spoon the mixture on top to create a round meringue, leaving at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) gap from the sides.

  5. Using a spoon or spatula, create a nest in the middle, building up the sides of the meringue so that it can hold the whipped cream and berries once it’s baked.

  6. Turn 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.

  7. Once cooked, open the air fryer and let it cool down completely before removing from the air fryer and adding the topping.

  8. Meanwhile, whip the cream with 2 tablespoons of Allulose and vanilla.

  9. To assemble, top the cooled meringue with whipped cream and fresh berries. You can also add some fresh mint.

  10. Slice to serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to a day. Pavlova is always best to be assembled right before serving. You can keep the baked meringue in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    I was skeptical about making pavlova in the air fryer but it worked so well. The shell was crisp and the middle stayed soft and marshmallowy. Added fresh berries on top and it disappeared in minutes.

    Do you have a UK source for allulose? I’ve not been able to find one..

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Kathryn, I got mine from a website called Lucky Vitamin as they ship (or at least used to) to the UK. I always got 15-20 packs which was worth it as I paid about $20 for shipping & fees. I haven't bought any for a year (still have a few bags) so I'm not sure if they still do this.

    Omg! It’s fly everywhere in my air fryer. Definitely not a recipe for my air fryer.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Good point! Did you keep the rack inside? I found that when I removed the rack it was fine but when I kept it, it was moving too much.

    Allulose is not available in Australia which alternative sweetener do you recommend please?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      I'd use erythritol-based sweetener like I did in this recipe: Low-Carb Holiday Berry Pavlova
