Meringue pavlovas topped with Nutella, nuts, and chocolate make for a decadent treat for Mother’s Day tea and beyond.
Nutella Pavlovas
Ingredients
For the Pavlova
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Filling
- 1 cup (130 grams) raw, unsalted hazelnuts
- 2 cups (480 grams) heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (300 grams) Nutella, divided
- 4 ounces (113 grams) sweetened chocolate
Instructions
For the Pavlova
- Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed. Add the granulated sugar gradually and then allow the mixture to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe 4” circles on the lined baking sheet, making sure that it is thick enough to support the toppings once cooked.
- Bake for 90 minutes, or until they are firm and dry but not brown. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlovas to cool inside, about 1-2 hours.
For the Fillings
- In a small frying pan over medium heat, toast the hazelnuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. They should start to smell fragrant but make sure not to let them burn!
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Then roughly chop them. Set the chopped nuts aside until ready to use.
- Once the hazelnuts are cool, beat the heavy cream with a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add ½ cup of Nutella and mix just until combined.
- Heat the remaining ½ cup of Nutella in a small bowl in the microwave until smooth and pourable.
- Coat the top of the pavlova with the Nutella-flavored whipped cream. Next, add the melted Nutella and chopped hazelnuts.
- Finish the pavlova with shaved chocolate on top and serve immediately.
