CHOCOLATE, STRAWBERRY AND ORANGE PAVLOVAS

 

Serves 4
Sins per serving: 5.5 on Green and Original  25

340g/12oz small strawberries
4 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1-2 tsp granulated artificial sweetener
200g pot very low fat natural fromage frais
1 x 11g sachet Chocolate & Orange Options
1 level tsp cocoa powder
4 ready made meringue nests

Wash the strawberries and pat dry. Hull all but two of them. Slice the
remaining strawberries and place half in a blender or food processor with the
orange juice. Blend until smooth, then sweeten the puree with enough
sweetener to taste. Cover and chill the puree and the whole and sliced
strawberries until required.

Place the fromage frais in a small bowl and sieve in the Options and cocoa
powder. Mix until well combined. Cover and chill until required.

Just before serving, spoon the chocolate fromage frais on to each meringue
nest and pile the reserved sliced strawberries on top. Place on individual
serving plates, and decorate each with half a strawberry and orange zest.
Drizzle the strawberry puree on to the plate and serve.
