This dessert is perfect for summer evenings and is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. With its chewy meringue exterior and fluffy cream filling, the Rolled Pavlova is undeniably delicious. The addition of macadamia nuts and hazelnuts gives this dessert a delightful crunch, while the dusting of icing sugar makes it look as good as it tastes.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2.Grease and line a 23cm x 32cm Swiss roll pan with baking paper.

10.Spread whipped cream over Pavlova. If you want a coffee flavour, add coffee to whipped cream or add pureed berries of your choice. Roll up from the longest side. Place on a serving plate.
