List of Ingredients

Pavlova Ingredients:

4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup superfine sugar*
1 cup mini real semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla


Chocolate Sauce Ingredients:

1 cup mini real semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter


Topping Ingredients:

1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
4 cups fresh fruit (kiwifruit, strawberries, pineapple, mango, raspberries, blueberries, etc.), cut up




Recipe

Heat oven to 250°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Beat egg whites in large bowl at medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; continue beating until egg whites form soft peaks. Increase speed to high. Beat, gradually adding 3/4 cup superfine sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form. Gently stir in remaining superfine sugar, 1 cup chocolate chips and vanilla.

Spread egg white mixture into 8 (4-inch) circles (1/2 cup each) on prepared baking sheets, mounding slightly around edges. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until edges are crisp. Remove from oven; cool 15 minutes. Remove from parchment.

Meanwhile, combine 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup whipping cream and butter in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and sauce is smooth (2 to 4 minutes). Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons chocolate sauce onto each individual dessert plate. Beat 1 cup whipping cream in medium bowl at high speed, scraping bowl often, until stiff peaks form. Gently stir in powdered sugar. Place each pavlova on chocolate-coated plate. Spread 1/4 cup whipped cream mixture in center of each pavlova; top with 1/2 cup fruit. Drizzle with remaining chocolate sauce.
