Written by This individual Mango Pavlova Recipe from Curtis Stone is a great summer dessert made a little more decadent with the addition of some chocolate and lime syrup.
Pavlova is ideally prepared a few days advance, well the meringue part anyway. Meringues will last quite a long time in a sealed container so you could get to work on them a week in advance if you wish.
Then all you would need to do on the day or the night before is prepare the syrup and then lastly just before they are needed dice the mangoes and whip the cream to assemble your mango pavlova.
