Chocolate And Berry Pavlova (Easy)
Ingredients
For the pavlova:
- 6 eggs
- 1 ½ cup caster sugar
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 4 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup shelled pistachios
Cream topping/filling:
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup thick Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
For the toppings:
- Berries: strawberries and blueberries
- Passionfruit
- Blood Orange
- Unsweetened pistachio nut butter
- Edible flowers
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper or a baking mat.
- Blitz the pistachio nuts to a fine texture.
- Separate egg whites from yolks. Whip the egg white until it forms a stiff peak.
- Add 1 tablespoon at a time of sugar and beat for a few minutes before adding the next. Whip until thick and glossy.
- Gently fold in cocoa powder, cornstarch, vinegar and nuts. Don't overbeat but rather fold in gently with a metal spoon.
- Add the mixture to the center of the lined baking tray and create a hollowed out shape.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Turn the oven down after 5 minutes to 250°F/120°C and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Cool completely and very carefully transfer to a plate. If you are nervous to transfer it, just serve it on the baking paper.
- Whip up the cream until stiff and fold through the yogurt.
- Top with all your bits and serve in the middle of the table for some DRAMA!
