Ingredients
Instructions
Make the chocolate sauce: In a pot, cook together the salt, butter, sugar and milk until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the chocolate and vanilla, stir. You can make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a week. You’ll want to warm it just until it’s at room temperature before serving over the pavlova. Don’t pour it over hot, it will melt the whipped cream.
Make the pavlova: Draw a 6 or 8 inch circle on parchment paper then flip the paper over and set it on a cookie sheet. Have a mini spatula ready. Preheat the oven to 275 F (if your oven runs hot do 250 F).
Bring a pot filled ⅓ high with water to a simmer. In a heatproof bowl that will fit on top of the pot (but not touch the water) whisk together the egg whites and sugar. Set it over the heat whisking non-stop until you can pinch it and feel no sugar granules.
Transfer the egg mixture to your stand mixer bowl and begin whipping on low then gradually speed it up until it’s at medium high. Whip until you have stiff peaks, about 10 minutes - right before the stiff peaks stage add the vanilla, vinegar and cornstarch (one at a time and carefully so as not to deflate it).
Carefully dollop the meringue onto the prepared parchment paper. Use the offset spatula to shape it into a dome, sliding upwards to create a pretty pattern and pressing down in the top center to create a ‘well’. Use a wet finger to clean the bottom of the meringue.

This is what I took for Easter Sunday buffet dinner at our church...so yummy! There wasn't one bit left.This recipe is a keeper.
I made this yesterday and it was so delicious!! I halved the recipe as it was just for two people, it worked perfectly. Instructions are very thoughtful and easy to follow. I let it rest in the oven for four hours and served it with fresh strawberries. Chocolate sauce + berries was so good. We still had left overs so I popped it in the fridge overnight, it was just as tasty today!
Amazing! Going into making this recipe I was a bit intimidated, but it's actually so easy and hands on time is pretty minimal. Delish and now I want to make ALL the meringue and pavlovas!
