Strawberry Pavlova Roll

Pavlova is a classic dessert that is always a favourite. Try jazzing it up a little by turning it into a roll filled with jam, cream and strawberries. You can even add your own filling such as mango, cherry ripe or grated chocolate.

It may look a little tricky but it is actually quite easy and if you follow the recipe, you can serve it at your next family gathering.

Enjoy,
