Lore
A tropical pavlova has to balance opposites: a shell that is crisp and composed, a centre that stays marshmallow-soft, and fruit with enough acidity to keep the whole thing from becoming heavy. Chigs’ verified handshake places that balance at the centre of Dessert Week, but the public research pass does not preserve a matching recipe.
Recipe source pending
No exact or near-exact public recipe for Chigs’ handshake bake was located in the verified research pass. This card intentionally contains no invented pavlova quantities or method.
