(receita da pavlova de Donna Hay para Masterchef Australia )
300ml de claras de ovo (cerca de 10 claras)
440g de açúcar
4 colheres de chá de amido de milho (Maisena)
4 colheres de chá de vinagre de vinho branco
3 colheres de sopa Chocolate em pó
50 gr de chocolate em barra
Ligue o forno r regule-o para 150ºC.
Bata as claras em castelo, mas não as deixe ficar demasiado duras. Acrescente depois o açúcar, aos poucos e poucos, batendo muito bem com a batedeira . As claras devem ficar completamente duras e muito brilhantes (Se não atingiu este ponto, nem vale a pena colocar a mistura no forno...)
Junte agora o amido de milho e o vinagre e bata muito bem.Junte o chocolate em pó e bata .Junte o chocolate partido e bata para misturar tudo muito bem.
Forre um tabuleiro com papel vegetal . Coloque o merengue dentro desse circulo e com a ajuda de uma espátula molde as claras de modo como se de um bolo se tratasse.
Coloque a pavlova no forno e reduza-o para 120ºC. Deixe cozinhar a pavlova durante 1h20 e evite abrir a porta do forno. Ao fim desse tempo desligue o forno e deixe-a arrefecer completamente lá dentro antes de a retirar.
Bata as natas com o açúcar e coloque no centro da pavlova arrefecida. Decore com morangos .Depois de fria a pavlova pode ser decorada como preferirem.

Now add the corn starch and vinegar and mix well. Add the cocoa powder and whisk. Add the chocolate and whisk to mix everything.
