Ingredients
- 1 pavlova magic (125 grams) (may be called meringue powder outside Australia)
- 375 grams Marie biscuits (1 ½ packets) (can substitute another sweet plain biscuit)
- 6 tablespoons cocoa
- 250 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams glace cherries
- 120 grams slivered almonds
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- ⅔ cup additional desiccated coconut (for rolling)
Instructions
- Crush biscuits to a fine consistency. Combine with cocoa, almonds and cherries.
- Melt butter.
- Mix pavlova magic with 140ml of lukewarm water. Mix on high speed using an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes (which is shorter than the length of time specified on the pavlova magic instructions). Stir in coconut.
- Add butter and pavlova magic mixture to the biscuit mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Place mixture into fridge for half an hour (so it reaches a consistency suitable for rolling into logs).
- Remove from fridge and divide mixture into four equal parts. Roll each part into a firm log shape. Roll in coconut and wrap the logs in aluminium foil.
- Place wrapped logs into fridge to set overnight.
- Slice logs into rounds using a sharp knife before serving.
