This chocolate cherry pavlova has a chewy chocolatey marshmallow centre, is filled with a fluffy pillow of cream and topped with sweet dark cherries. It’s the perfect holiday dessert, feeds a crowd and can be made ahead of time; just fill the dessert a few hours before serving. Recipe is gluten free!
Always work with a clean bowl and whisk, if there is any grease residue your meringue won’t whip to stiff peaks and will collapse.
If you get egg yolk in your egg whites toss them out and start over. Again your meringue won’t whip to stiff peaks and will collapse.
You can make your pavlova ahead (unfilled) and store in a dry place for up to a week before filling ad serving.
You can make your cherry sauce ahead and store in the fridge for 3 days. Let sauce come to room temperature before adding.
