Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but every host knows how hard it is to plan the Christmas day menu. 

Though ’tis the season for food and gift-giving, catering to every unique taste and dietary requirement can be tricky. 

Fortunately, some genius has thought of a way to please even the pickiest eaters with this delicious pavlova dessert hack.

Shalini of small batch bakery Swish Biscuits in the Northern Territory posted the genius idea to their Instagram feed.

“What are your favourite pavlova toppings? I asked this in my stories last night and got a huge variety and I think I probably have them mostly covered here! An early family Christmas and I was in charge of dessert so I thought some DIY pavs would go down a treat in the form of a grazing board. The sauces are passionfruit, Nutella, lemon curd, homemade raspberry sauce and salted caramel. Lots of fruit, fresh mint, chocolates and coconut!”
