Charlie Forde’s Favorite Pavlova

My chocolate pavlova is actually a favorite recipe from a favorite person, Nigella Lawson. I wish I could say it’s mine, but if something isn’t broke why fix it? This is TO DIE FOR. You’ll be a real Aussie if you make this ;)

Prep time: 20 min.

Cook time: 1 hr. 15 min.

Serves: 8 to 10

Ingredients

• 6 large free-range egg whites
• 300g caster sugar
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder, sieved
• 1 tsp balsamic or red wine vinegar
• 50g dark chocolate, finely chopped

For the topping

• 500ml double cream (ed. note: this may be exceptionally hard to find in the US)
• 500g raspberries
• 2-3 tbsp coarsely grated dark chocolate

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Beat the egg whites until satiny peaks form, then beat in the sugar, a large spoonful at a time, until the meringue is stiff and shiny. Add the cocoa, vinegar and chopped chocolate, then gently fold until the cocoa is thoroughly mixed in. Mound onto a lined baking sheet in a fat circle about 25cm in diameter, smoothing the sides and top. Place in the oven, then immediately reduce the temperature to 150°C/fan130°C/gas 2 and cook for 1-1¼ hours.

When the meringue is ready it should look crisp around the edges and sides, and be dry on top, but when you prod the center you should feel the promise of squidginess. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly, then let the chocolate meringue disc cool completely.

When you’re ready to serve, lift onto a large, flat-bottomed plate. Whisk the cream until thick but still soft, pile it on top of the meringue, then scatter over the raspberries. Sprinkle the fruit haphazardly over the top, letting some fall, as they will, on the plate’s rim. Sprinkle over the grated chocolate to serve.
