When is a pavlova not a pavlova? When it’s a chocolate pavlova...with chocolate cream filling...it is so much better than your av pav! (For the Americans amongst us...Aussie slang ‘av pav’ should be read as ‘average pavlova’.)
I have made so many variations on pavlova I really could have a mini cookbook on them...what would you say about that? I would love the photo shoot for that project, imagine!
You’ll love this one. I know it. Enjoy. And should you want a completely amazing Thermomix method for pavlova, please go immediately to my store and purchas the Merry Christmix franchise. You will find the best recipe in there for Thermie pav ever. (Not av pav at all!)
