Chocolate pavlova recipe This chocolate pavlova is a super-decadent dessert that is just perfect for special occasions. Ingredients: 6 egg whites 300g castor sugar 3 tbsp cocoa, sifted 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 50g dark chocolate, chopped finely 500ml double cream 500g raspberries Method: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a pizza or baking tray with baking paper. In a clean dry bowl, beat the egg whites until peaks form and then continue to beat adding a spoonful of castor sugar at a time. Add the cocoa, chopped chocolate and vinegar. Fold in gently with a metal spoon. Pour onto the baking paper in a 20cm round mound. Smooth the top and sides gently. Turn the oven down to 150°C and place in the oven. Bake for 60mins to 1hr 15mins. Pavlova will be done if it has a crisp shell but still looks a little soft in the centre. **DO NOT OPEN OVEN DURING COOKING** Turn off the oven leaving the pavlova inside and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon. Leave to cool completely. Invert pavlova on a plate and mound cream in a circle on top. Pile raspberries on top of the cream. Grate additional chocolate over the top
