Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the egg whites with cream of tartar and salt. Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. With mixer going, gradually beat in sugar, 2 tablespoon at a time. This will take about 3 minutes. Continue beating until stiff and shiny peaks form.
- Sift the cocoa powder over the egg mixture and sprinkle in the chopped chocolate. Using a rubber spatula, fold to combine.
- Spread the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, making an 8-inch circle. Create a shallow well in the center.
- Reduce oven temperature to 225 degrees F and bake until firm and dry, about 2 hours. Turn off oven and open the oven door. Let the meringue cool in oven completely, about 3 hours. Carefully remove the parchment and transfer to a plate.
- For topping: beat the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of sugar until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. In a small bowl, toss the berries with remaining teaspoon of sugar.
- Top the pavlova with whipped cream and berries. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.
- This recipe calls for 1 cup of granulated sugar, which needs to be ground to make more it fine. To do this I put 1 cup of granulated sugar into a blender and pulse it for a few seconds until the sugar is fine. (If you have caster sugar you can use the same amount of that instead.)
- Then, in a small bowl whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
- In a large glass or stainless steel bowl, whip the egg whites until they are foamy with stiff peaks.
- Then while the egg whites are still whipping, gradually add the sugar/cornstarch mixture, 1 tbsp at a time, until the mixture becomes glossy and forms stiff peaks. The texture will be kind of like stiff shaving foam.
- Then sprinkle the mixture with the vinegar and cocoa powder.
- Using a spatula, mix it together.
- Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Then using a spoon, add big spoonfuls of the meringue onto the sheet in the shape of a heart. To make the heart, I start at the top of the heart, adding 2 big scoops for the top bumps, then work your way down. The meringue should be at least 2 inches thick.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the pavlova meringue has slight cracking and appears dry.
- Let it cool completely before adding the whipping cream and strawberries.
- While the pavlova is baking you can make the strawberry sauce.
- Cut the strawberries into 4. Then set aside half of them. You are going to leave 1/2 fresh, and 1/2 are going into the sauce.
- In a small saucepan add 1/2 of the chopped strawberries, the raspberries, 1 tbsp water and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix well.
- Simmer over low heat until the fruit is slightly cooked down and the sauce is the consistency of syrup. This takes about 15 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- Then stir in the remaining fresh strawberries.
- Using a mixer whip the whipping cream and vanilla until it is fluffy.
- Note: I do not add sugar to this whipped cream because the pavlova and the berries are sweet enough. The unsweetened whipped cream is a nice balance to all the sweetness.
- Once the pavlova has cooled, top it with the whipped cream...be careful not to spread it too hard or the meringue will crack or crumble.
- Then add the strawberry sauce.
- Sprinkle with the grated white chocolate.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Beat together egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar to soft peaks in a large bowl. Beat in sugar, about three tablespoons at a time, until stiff and glossy peaks form. Sift cocoa and cornstarch over egg whites, and gently fold in. Gently fold in vinegar, vanilla, and melted chocolate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread the meringue into an eight inch circle. Bake in the center of the oven for 1 1/2 hours until the outside is crispy and the center is soft. Using a metal spatula, loosen the meringue from the parchment paper, and remove to cool on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely, about one hour.
- Whip cream with the sugar, and spread over the meringue. Arrange strawberries decoratively over the top, and drizzle with chocolate.

STRAWBERRY PAVLOVA
The particular joy of this dreamy dessert, which was named in honor of the Russian ballerina, is that the meringue base can be made in advance. Then to serve it, drizzle the strawberries with a little balsamic vinegar and vanilla (a combination that brings out the fullest essential flavor of the fruit), whip some cream and arrange it all on a plate. It's magnificent, and deliriously easy.

Steps:
- To prepare meringue: heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and draw a circle on the paper using an 8- or 9- inch cake pan as a guide. Flip the parchment over so the pencil marking is facing down (this ensures that the pencil won't transfer to the meringue). In bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites and salt. Begin beating at low speed, slowly increasing to high. Continue until satiny peaks begin to form; gradually beat in sugar a tablespoon at a time until meringue is stiff and shiny.
- Sprinkle in cornstarch, white-wine vinegar and vanilla, and fold in gently. Mound onto parchment within circle, and shape into a disk, flattening top and smoothing sides. Place in oven, and immediately reduce heat to 300 degrees. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn off heat, and allow meringue to cool completely in oven.
- To prepare topping: in a mixing bowl, combine strawberries, vanilla, balsamic vinegar and sugar. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- To serve, carefully peel off parchment and place meringue on a platter or cake stand. Gently crack the top with the back of a soup spoon to make a shallow nest for the whipped cream and berries. Whip cream until it is thick enough to hold peaks, and spoon it evenly over meringue. Cover cream with strawberries, allowing a small amount of their liquid to dribble onto cream. Serve immediately.
