Time 5h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch of cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
For the toppings:
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups strawberries, halved or quartered

Steps:

  • Make the Pavlova: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until very foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time (this should take about 3 minutes). Continue beating until stiff and shiny, about 3 more minutes.
  • Sift the cocoa powder over the egg white mixture and sprinkle with the chopped chocolate; fold to combine. Spread the meringue into an 8-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, making a shallow well in the center. Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F; bake until firm and dry, about 2 hours. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Let the meringue cool in the oven, about 3 hours. Carefully remove from the parchment and transfer to a platter.
  • Make the toppings: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Toss the strawberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Top the Pavlova with the whipped cream and strawberries.

The meringue was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This pavlova was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

The chocolate pavlova was a delicious and elegant dessert. The meringue was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The chocolate filling was rich and creamy. The strawberries and cream added a refreshing touch.
