Chocolate Chip Easter Pavlova

  • Brand

Pavlova is a light, meringue-based dessert traditionally enjoyed in Australia and New Zealand. Put a twist on the vanilla flavoured dessert by adding some chocolate chips and enjoy it this Easter season. The main ingredients you'll need are egg whites, caster sugar, cornflour, NESTLÉ Docello Chocettes, whipped and thickened cream, icing sugar mixture, vanilla extract, raspberries, and strawberries. A useful tip for making the best pavlova is beating your cream mixture until firm peaks are formed. After finishing your meringue, make sure to cover and refrigerate it until it's appropriately set.
