This simple Maltesers pavlova is a great showstopper that is cheap to make, full of rich chocolaty flavours and a lighter alternative to our classic chocolate cake. Traditionally they’re made with fruit, we’ve been naughty and made ours with chocolate meringue, white chocolate cream and Maltesers – a perfect and delicious combination. Assemble the pavlova up to an hour before serving so it can set. A showstopper of a dessert that would complete any dinner party or special occasion, this recipe serves 6-8 people and will take 2hrs to make and bake - it's well worth the wait.
