Ingredients

6 egg whites
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
Pinch cream of tartar
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 litres choc-vanilla swirl ice cream
150g fresh cherries
1/3 cup toasted flaked coconut
1/4 cup chocolate topping

Method

Step 1 Preheat oven to 120C/100C fan forced.

Step 2 Grease and line a baking tray with baking paper. Mark a 22cm circle on tray. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.

Step 3 Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until dissolved after each addition (this will take about 10 minutes). Add cream of tartar, cornflour and vanilla.

Step 4 Beat for 1 minute or until combined. Spoon meringue on to prepared tray. Using a palette knife, shape meringue into a circle. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until firm. Turn oven off. Cool in oven with door ajar. Just before serving, top pavlova with ice-cream.

Step 5 Decorate with cherries, coconut and topping. Serve immediately.

Notes

Always make sure egg whites are at room temperature before whipping to ensure maximum volume.
