Want to bring something sweet and unique to your next holiday party? Pavlova, a meringue-based dessert that originated in Russia, is a lighter dessert that also happens to be fat-free. With a crisp crust and soft, airy center, consider this raspberry-cocoa pavlova recipe a healthier alternative to cake. A fresh raspberry sauce and a drizzle of chocolate syrup put the finishing touches on this elegant dessert. And since the cocoa powder is a prominent flavor, splurging on a premium brand (like Divine or Ghirardelli) will help the flavor shine through.<\/p>\n

Fat-Free Raspberry-Cocoa Pavlova Recipe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Serves 12<\/em><\/p>\n

Prep time: 20 minutes
\nCook time: 8 hours (or overnight)<\/p>\n

[skinnybox]<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n

4 egg whites
\n2 cups powdered sugar
\n1\/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
\n1\/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder<\/p>\n

Raspberry sauce:
\n<\/em>4 ounces raspberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
\n4 tablespoons agave
\nPinch of salt
\n\u00bc teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n

Chocolate syrup:
\n<\/em>1 1\/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
\n2 tablespoons agave
\nPinch of salt<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cream of tartar.<\/li>\n
  3. In a large glass blow, beat the egg whites until they\u2019re frothy and just start to thicken.<\/li>\n
  4. While beating the egg whites, slowly add in the sugar until fully incorporated. Continue beating on high until soft peaks form.<\/li>\n
  5. Sift in \u00bc cup of cocoa powder and fold gently making sure not to deflate the egg whites. Continue folding until the cocoa powder and egg whites are mixed.<\/li>\n
  6. Gently pour the meringue out in a 12-inch wide circle on a non-stick baking tray or an aluminum foil-lined tray. You can work the meringue with a soft spatula at this point to shape it into a circle.<\/li>\n
  7. Place the tray in the oven, close the oven door, and turn it off overnight or for 8 hours until the meringue has set.<\/li>\n
  8. Remove the meringue from the oven and gently move to a serving plate. Be sure to lift from the bottom since the sides will be delicate.<\/li>\n
  9. In a small pot, add \u00bc cup water to the raspberries and bring it to a boil. Continue boiling until nearly all of the water has evaporated.<\/li>\n
  10. Turn off the heat and add in 4 tablespoons of agave, a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract and puree with a blender or potato masher.<\/li>\n
  11. In a separate bowl, mix ingredients for chocolate syrup. Stir until well combined.<\/li>\n
  12. Right before serving, pour the raspberry sauce over the middle of the meringue. Next, drizzle the cocoa syrup over the top of the pavlova. Cut into 12 slices to serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
