Pavlova (source Nigella)

6 egg whites
300gm sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder (optional-this is for a chocolate meringue)
1 tsp balsamic or red wine vinegar
50gm chopped dark chocolate (again, optional)

1. Pre-heat oven 180 degrees.

2. Beat egg whites til satiny peaks form, then beat in sugar one spoonful at a time until meringue is stiff and shiny. Sprinklr cocoa, vinegar and chopped chocolate, fold gently til mixed.

3. Put on baking sheet (approx 23cm in diameter), place in oven and immediately reduce heat to 150 degrees. Bake for 1hr 15mins. Should be crisp around edges but centre squidgy :P

4. Whip up double cream, and cut up whatever fruit you fancy, top the pavlova...enjoy!
