Turn a cloud into dessert. This amazing dessert features a light and crisp meringue topped with cocoa whipped cream, fresh raspberries and a chocolate drizzle. Chocolate raspberry pavlova may be your new favorite dessert!

If ever there was a perfect dessert, this might be it. A crisp meringue base that gives way to a marshmallow-y center.
Fluffy chocolate whipped cream is nestled on top. And a smattering of delicious fresh raspberries and a drizzle of chocolate finish it off.
This is a symphony of textures and a delightful mix of flavors. Make one today to find out for yourself!
After making a couple of batches of baked custard, I found myself with extra cream and egg whites on hand. Now, I am not one to waste such tasty ingredients, especially if they lend themselves so well to a delicious dessert.
My immediate thought was pavlova! I have to make a pavlova!
I mean, that was your first thought too, right?!
It should have been, this was delicious!

Making Pavlova
This dessert is actually very easy to make. It has a few steps and takes a little time, but not one part of it is actually hard to do.
First the egg whites turn into the meringue base. Then a batch of cocoa whipped cream gets beaten into a fluffy nest for the fresh raspberries to sit on.
A quick drizzle of chocolate and your guests will be amazed. So will your taste buds!

My cousin Emily was over helping me make cookies, so her family joined us for our weekly family dinner. She said that this yummy treat is her new favorite dessert.
That or the kolacky which she had just tried for the first time too. 😉 Both are great in very different ways, so I can understand her quandary. I guess we’ll just have to make them both again!

Pavlovas are so good aren't they? I haven't tried one with cocoa yet and now I know I need to!

You definitely should! Just that little bit of cocoa in the whipped cream takes it to the next level!

This is such an elegant looking dessert Carlee!! I have never made a pavlova before, I find it too technical! But I am so tempted to make this one because of the cocoa whipped cream and fresh raspberries on top!

You would certainly do a great job making a pavlova. It does seem a bit intimidating, but really it's just a meringue and whipped cream. Give it a try!
