I made the most beautiful Pavlova, the meringue was perfect, the cream was well, creamy and the strawberries were delish!!

I would recommend making this to anyone, it was very easy and amazingly delish, quite light also! Yummy!

Can you share the recipe for the Pavlova? I had that once when I was in Wales and I loved it! Never saw it here in the states. Thanks!

DH likes to make ice cream, so I would love to have your recipe for gelato, when you get a chance!

I would like to make a Pavlova, too! Have never made one. Sounds like an idea for Mother's Day! Can you post your recipe?

I saw the Pavlova recipe, thanks for posting it! It looks great, I can't wait to make it. I haven't used my kitchen aid mixer yet, now I know what I am going to make when I break it out! Thanks!

Re: How did the Easter cooking go?

Ok, here's the gelato recipe:

Chocolate gelato with toffee bits:

1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbs cornstarch
pinch of salt
2 cups of whole milk, divided
5 oz bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (I just used chocolate chips)
1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup of coursely crushed toffee candy, such as Skor, Heath, etc.

Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy medicum saucepan until blended. Gradually add 1/4 cup milk, whisking until cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk in remaining 1 3/4 cups milk. Whisk over medium-high heat until mixture thickens and comes to boil, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook 1 minute longer, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat; add chocolate. Let stand 1 minute, then whisk until melted and smooth. Transfer gelato base to medium bowl. Mix in cream. Place bowl over large bowl filled with ice and water to cool, stirring often, about 30 minutes.
Process gelato base in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, adding toffee during last minute of churning. Transfer to container; cover. Freeze at least 3 hours.

Wow, chocolate gelato with toffee bits! Thanks, Anniegrl!!! This looks fantastic!

What a bonus that it's chocolate! I'm planning to make your recipe next week.
