Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites Pinch of salt Pinch of vanilla powder 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 cup heavy cream 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trace a 9-inch circle on parchment paper and turn over; set aside.
Beat egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until foamy. Add salt, vanilla powder, and lemon juice; beat to combine. With the mixer running, gradually add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form and sugar has dissolved. Using a rubber spatula, transfer egg whites to circle traced on parchment, mounding in the center.
Transfer to oven and bake for 1 1/4 hours. Turn off oven heat and let meringue cool completely in oven.
Place chocolate and 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment beat together heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar until soft peaks form. Whisk in vanilla. Gently fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream.
Remove meringue from oven and, using a serrated knife, cut in half horizontally and remove top portion; set aside. Mound whipped cream in the bottom half and top with remaining half. Serve immediately.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/15/2008 There is no chocolate in the meringue, just in the whipped cream. This is also known as pavlova.
Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/15/2008 The recipe doesn't say when to add the chocolate. This is similar to an old recipe I have for Schaum Tortes, which uses strawberries
Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/15/2008 REMEMBER to let the melted chocolate COOL COMPLETELY (put in refrigerator?) before mixing with the heavy cream or it WILL NOT whip. Just a tip that was left out of the instructions!
