Pavlova Wreath
With my Grandpa's failing eyesight, he is finding it more difficult to make his annual Christmas sponge, so I decided to give him the year off, and make a different festive dessert.
This pavlova is light, but delicious, meaning you can indulge without feeling too guilty afterwards. It has a delightful mix of sweet, tart and bitter flavours.
Although I made it for Christmas, it can easily be turned into a summer dessert by swapping cranberries for raspberries, blackberries, or red currents.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour

Ingredients
5 eggs
80g Sweetener (or 275g caster sugar)
1 tsp mixed spice

40g 100% cacao chocolate
200g soya yoghurt
100g creme fraiche
3tbsp icing sugar
100g fresh cranberries
Method
Separate the eggs, and whisk the whites to soft peaks.
Whisk in the sugar and spice.
Spoon the mixture onto a baking tray in a ring shape.
Bake in the oven for half an hour until golden brown, then lower the temperature by 20 & #3872 ;C and bake for another half hour until crisp.
Melt the dark and white chocolate in two separate bowls.
Whisk the yoghurt and creme fraiche with two tablespoons icing sugar, then pour over the pavlova.

Drizzle the chocolate over the pavlova and allow to set.
Wipe away any excess, before serving.
