300ml double cream icing sugar, to serve

For The Chocolate Bark

· 50g dark chocolate, 70 per cent cocoa solids

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190°C/325°F/ Gas 3 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.

2. Break the orange-flavoured chocolate into a small bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water so its base does not touch the water. Leave for 5 minutes. Remove bowl from the pan and stir the chocolate until completely melted. Leave to cool a little while you prepare the meringue for the pavlovas.

3. Place the egg whites and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Use an electric beater to whisk until soft peaks form. Add the sugar a few tablespoons at a time and whisk well between each addition, reserving 2tsp of sugar for later. Once the sugar has been added, the meringue should be very stiff. Sift the cornflour over the meringue and fold through very gently. Mix the 2tsp of sugar with the vinegar and vanilla essence and fold into the meringue until well mixed.
