Daring Bakers' Chocolate Pavlovas with Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse

ARCHIVE

The June 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers' to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard.

When the new Daring Bakers' challenge was posted I must admit I was expecting a flop.
Up until this month's challenge Pavlova in my kitchen was synonymous with Tiramisu in the sense that many recipes have been tested, but no favorite has been found. There was always something wrong with it.
So naturally I wasn't expecting anything good to come out of this challenge.
Don't get me wrong, I was excited to try the new recipe and to report on it, but to hope for an awesome Pavlova was just too much.

The recipe was really easy to follow and I'm ecstatic to report that this is the best recipe for Pavlova I got to try out. It was perfect and chocolate too!

I did make a few minor tweaks to the Mascarpone Mousse and Cream recipes. I halved both of the recipes right of the bat, but think 1/4 of the original recipes should have sufficed for the Pavlova's I got.

All in all this month's challenge was by far the most rewarding one of all and I definitely will be using the meringue recipe in the future since I had such success with it.

Another thing that makes this particular challenge special is the fact that I've been participating in the Daring Bakers' challenges for a year now.
Last June's Bakewell Tart was my very first challenge and it's been an amazing year.
