As the talent behind the Zoë Bakes Instagram account, Magnolia television show, and cookbook, Zoë François makes a lot of beautiful baked goods, but the one she’s known for in particular is her airy, delicate pavlova in the shape of a tutu. Zoë came up with the specific shape as an homage to the dessert’s namesake, legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova.

Zoë joins host Jessie Sheehan to share her tips and tricks for making the meringue confection, from weighing your egg whites, choosing the right kind of bowl and spatula, to making your own superfine sugar and vanilla extract. They also go through Zoë’s suggestions for filling the pavlova, the recipe for her low & slow whipped cream that stays stable for days, and whether to use a hand or a stand mixer.

Want to bake along? Here is Zoë’s recipe for pavlova.
