Method

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar 1/4 cup at a time beating well between each addition until the meringue is thick and glossy and sugar has dissolved. Gently fold through the chocolate and wattle seed
Spread a third of the meringue onto a paper lined baking tray to make a 24cm circle. Spoon meringue around the edge of the circle to form the walls of the pavlova
Bake in a moderately slow oven 150°C for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off oven and cool completely in the oven
Fill the centre of the pavlova with the cream and decorate with berries and chocolate. Serve immediately
