The combination of chocolate and cherries is delicious, and I like to use the Pavlova method of making meringues – the addition of cornflour and vinegar gives you that lovely mallowy centre. Cherries are in season for such a short time so I’ve used canned ones; then you can make it at any time of year.

Ingredients

4 egg whites

pinch of salt

225g/8oz golden caster sugar

1 tsp cornflour

1⁄2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp white wine vinegar

25g/1oz cocoa powder

425g can pitted black cherries in syrup

200g carton fat-free fromage frais

Method

  1. Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until very stiff. Gradually add the sugar to make a stiff, shiny mixture. Stir together the cornfl our, vanilla and vinegar and whisk in. Sift over the cocoa then whisk in.

  2. Spoon 12 oval shapes onto two baking sheets lined with silicone or Tefl on paper. Bake for 45 mins or until the outer shell is crisp, but the centre still feels a little soft. Carefully peel off the paper and leave to cool.

  3. Meanwhile, drain the cherries, pouring the syrup into a small saucepan. Bring the syrup to the boil and bubble rapidly for 7-8 mins until syrupy. Set aside to cool.

  4. Stir the cherries into the fromage frais. Spoon the mixture onto six meringues, then drizzle with some thickened syrup. Cover with the remaining meringue halves, and serve soon.
