Chewy and gooey and more like a cookie dough than a hard, crunchy meringue.
It’s a huge hit every time I serve it.
This recipe came about by total chance. I was teaching a cooking class in which we made a Pavlova. I had made one and left it overnight in the oven to dry out.
But one of my students asked me what would happen if we used the one I’d made in class, so we tried it out. I quickly assembled some sundaes and the taste speaks for itself.
The best part is you can make it ahead of time and lets your guests assemble their own.
