nigella says: chocolate raspberry pavlova

"sometimes i want to go the holy way of the noodle or steam veg and seared fish, other times only chocolate will do and in this mood i have to have my chocolate pavlova."

 a couple of nights ago

i had the case of the munchies

sugar munchies

to be exact 

so i facebooked my friend N 

to let her know what horrible of a deed i was about to do

and like a true friend

she said

  its okay- let me know how it tastes

so here i am to tell her and you how it was

divine

a bit too much on the sugary side

but still divine

if you like marshmallows

you will love this

nigella asks for 1.5 cups of sugar in her recipe

next time i will take it down to 1/2 of a cup

when it was still warm from the oven 

i added whipping cream

the river of cream meandering its way into the warm crevices of the earth-like pavlova

when you bite into it 

its like a crispy crunch 

then slowly melts down to a soft spongy texture

oh so good 

i didn't add raspberries

but i wish i did 

this is nigella's pavlova

image and recipe via

and here is mine

i love the crackled exterior 

so rough and delicate at the same time

the inside marshmallow texture is my favorite 

chocolate chips bursting with warm gooey-ness

here is the goddess making it

enjoy
