Decadent pavlova filled with coffee, chocolate, and nut flavors - a gourmet twist on a classic Aussie favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 6 egg whites, at room temperature
  • 315g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar
  • 20.00 gm cocoa powder, sifted
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 200g pkt dark cooking chocolate, finely chopped
  • 250ml (1 cup) thickened cream
  • 20.00 ml instant coffee granules
  • 2 x 250g ctns mascarpone
  • 145g (1 cup) dry-roasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
  • Shaved dark chocolate, to decorate
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper and mark four 10cm discs on each tray, then flip the paper so the marked side is facing down.
  • In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric beater to whip the egg white until stiff peaks form. Slowly add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuously beating until sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes thick and shiny. Gently mix in cocoa powder and vinegar.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the discs, gently pressing a small indent in the center of each one.
  • Bake the meringues for 45 minutes until they are crisp and dry. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside with the door closed.
  • While the chocolate, cream, and coffee are gently melting together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water), use a metal spoon to stir the mixture until it becomes smooth. Allow it to chill and thicken slightly in the fridge for about 1 hour. Next, place the mascarpone in a separate bowl and gently fold in the chocolate mixture to achieve a beautiful swirled effect.
  • Spoon the creamy mascarpone mixture onto the fluffy meringues. Sprinkle with crunchy hazelnuts and delicate shavings of chocolate.
