Chocolate Pavlova Recipe
Light, crisp, and fudgy! This Chocolate Pavlova has a crunchy meringue shell with a marshmallow soft chocolate center. Serve with fresh raspberries and whipped cream.
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped cream, for the topping
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries
- 1 ounce semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat egg whites with whisk attachment for 30 seconds, until frothy.
- Add in vinegar and cornstarch and beat on medium high speed for one minute. While beating, slowly add in granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder. Also add in the vanilla extract.
- Beat meringue for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon meringue onto parchment paper and form an 8-9 inch circle. Use an offset spatula to smooth the edges and form a divet in the center while making the sides of the pavlova higher.
- Put the cookie sheet in the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 200 degrees F. Bake for 80 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN.
- When cooking time ends, keep the pavlova in the oven and turn off the oven. Allow it to cool for 4 hours, or longer, until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, top pavlova with whipped cream, fresh berries, and chopped chocolate. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Homemade whipped cream or an 8 ounce container of thawed Cool Whip can be used for topping.
- Storage- keep pavlova in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days (or keep it in the oven turned off to keep the humidity away).
