Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 150°c and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until they reach the soft peak stage.
- Slowly, and while continuing to whisk, add the sugar until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
- Fold in the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla extract.
- Dollop the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet and shape to form a round Pavlova.
- Place in the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 100°c.
- Bake the pavlova for 1 hour and then switch the oven off and allow it to cool completely in the oven. This will result in a crisp crust and soft interior.
- minutes before you are ready to serve, melt the dark chocolate and allow to cool.
- Beat the cream until thick (must be able to hold a peak) then fold in the melted chocolate. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Top the Pavlova with the chilled chocolate cream and strawberries. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
