Chocolate Raspberry Party Pavalova… YUM

Ever looking for an easy, but impressive looking “something” to take to parties at this time of year? Well you cannot go past this recipe for the “wow” factor on looks and on taste!
1½ cups (330g) caster sugar
¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
50g dark chocolate, chopped finely (Lindt)
2 cups (500g) mascarpone
¼ cup (60ml) milk, approximately
240g fresh raspberries (or strawberries)
dark chocolate curls, extra
Beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, gradually add sugar, beat until dissolved between additions.
When sugar is dissolved, gently fold in sifted cocoa, vinegar and chopped chocolate.
Spoon mixture onto prepared tray inside circle, smooth the sides and top of pavlova.
Place pavlova in oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 120°C/100°C fan-forced. Bake for about 1¼ to 1½ hours or until dry to touch. Turn oven off and cool pavlova in the oven with the door ajar.
Just before serving, place pavlova onto serving plate. Place mascarpone in a bowl, gently whisk in enough milk to form a soft consistency. (Mascarpone varies in texture so add gradually and only if needed.) Spoon mascarpone mixture on top of pavlova and sprinkle with berries. Decorate with extra chocolate, if desired.
Not suitable to freeze or microwave.
