Chocolo-Chocolate Chip Pavlova
Print recipe| Serves | Makes two 9-inch pavlovas. |
Ingredients
- 10 egg whites
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons corn starch
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cups cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (white and/or semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Mix egg whites and salt in electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. | |
| Step 2 | |
| With mixer running on medium, add sugar and corn starch little by little until stiff peaks form. This takes about 8 to 12 minutes. (If you don’t get stiff peaks after 10-15 minutes, you probably got some oil in the mixture.) | |
| Step 3 | |
| Mix in cocoa powder and fold in chocolate chips. | |
| Step 4 | |
| On a Silpat or parchment paper, drop dollops of meringue mixture and spread into a circular shape about 1 inch thick. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Bake for 20-40 minutes at 300. Pavlova is pavlova when the exterior is nice and crisp and the inside is soft, but not raw. Tricky, eh? Remove from oven when outside is crisp; do not allow to brown. | |
