Meringue / Pavlova - with chocolate variation.

"This is such a handy recipe as it has very few ingredients and if you follow the recipe it will work every-time. I came up with the chocolate variation at my dads house when I wanted to try something a little different"


Ingredients:
5 Egg whites 
200 Grams Caster Sugar 
Pinch of salt


Turn your oven to 180 Degrees Centigrade.
In a clean dry bowl whisk the egg whites and pinch of salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (the salt helps peaks to form).
Add the caster Sugar very slowly, once all the sugar has been added keep your mixing machine on high for 7 minutes and make sure that once done the mixture is not grainy by rubbing it between your fingers.
Spread on a baking paper lined tray and put in oven for 50 Minutes.


I like to serve it with either frozen or fresh berries, cream and ice cream. But you can use many things you have around the kitchen like fruits (canned or fresh,) melted chocolate and nuts.


Chocolate variation:
Finely grate 100grams of 85% Coco Chocolate and fold though mix before putting on baking tray. 
Still bake at 180 Degrees for 50 minutes.
