CHOCOLATE PECAN PAVLOVA
This will definitely capture your taste buds! This recipe is one of my family's favorites-especially at the holidays. Although it may take a little longer to make and assemble, it is truly worth the work. It's a rich-tasting, light dessert that everyone will enjoy. I usually use pecans, but you can substitute walnuts, hazelnuts or other nuts. —Nancy Preussner, Delhi, Iowa

[email protected]I was a bit disappointed with this pavlova. The meringue was a bit too chewy, and the chocolate and pecan filling was a bit too runny. I think I might have overcooked the meringue.

[email protected]This pavlova was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The meringue was light and fluffy, and the chocolate and pecan filling was rich and decadent. I would recommend using less sugar in the meringue next time.
