Have you ever tried Chocolate Hazelnut Pavlova? This is the most delicious dessert in the world! Literally, chocolate lovers come here and try this! 😉
Delicious chocolate meringue topped with fluffy whipped cream and decorated with crunchy hazelnuts and white and chocolate shaved chocolate. So delicious!
You can check my other pavlova recipes such as Tropical Fruits Pavlova and Strawberry Blackberry Pavlova.
Absolutely, you can use any nuts that you like or you have at home. I really like to add hazelnuts. They give such a fantastic flavor. You can even roast them for a little bit of time in the oven before.
You can use white, dark, or milk chocolate. I used dark and white chocolate.
100% raw cacao is used in this recipe.
Egg yolks can be used in making many recipes such as Potato Gnocchi or a very delicious Hollandaise Sauce. And I also have a great collection of Quiche Recipes.
Transfer eggs to a glass or a plastic container, cover and place them in the fridge until you are ready to use. It is better to use egg yolks in 24 hours.
No, you shouldn’t add cacao to a mixer and blend it together. The mixture will lose its texture and you will not be able to form the bird net.
You can see that the mixture is different and you can’t make pavlova from it.
When the egg whites mixture becomes thick and glossy, you need to stop beating, add cacao and fold it gently into the mixture.
It is better to use confectionary sugar. Usually, this type of sugar already has cornstarch. So you can’t skip adding the cornstarch to the meringue.
If you want to make your own confectionary sugar, it is pretty easy too.
You can grab a cup of sugar and grind it in the grinder and then add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the sugar and sift together.
Or another way, you can process regular white sugar through a blender and pulverize it to a powder.
Note: you can use brown sugar too. But Pavlova will change the color to more brownish. This type of sugar can suit Chocolate Pavlova.
To measure the exact oven temperature, you need to have a thermometer built into your oven. Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C), and before baking the Pavlova dessert you need to reduce the temperature to 250°F (120°C).
Yes, you can keep Pavlova in the fridge. You can bake Pavlova dessert the day before, and keep it in the fridge.
Right before serving, add whipped cream and your favorite toppings and serve it.
