Pavlova Roulade

Love pavlova but no time for the real thing?
This roulade style dessert is the perfect  solution.  The filling and topping can be adapted to suit what you have in the fridge.  Try passionfuit instead of lemon curd,  swap berries for chocolate shavings, or drizzle with chocolate sauce.

  2. Line a swiss roll tin with baking paper
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip egg whites to soft peaks and add caster sugar 1T at a time . Keep beating until the mixture is smooth and you cant feel grains of sugar when rubbed between two fingers
