- 1 cup organic cream

- Vanilla pod

Method

- Whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Add in stevia (or sugar) and whisk on high for at least ten minutes or until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Pour the mixture into a pan lined with baking paper. The mixture should be patted into a 20 cm circle. Bake for at least 50 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool in the oven, otherwise the pavlova may collapse.
- In a bowl, beat the cream until thick and then add in the seeds of the vanilla pod and the yoghurt. Add a pinch of stevia if you would like it sweeter. The mixture should be thick and creamy. Place in the fridge for about half an hour.
- Once cooled, top the pavlova with the creamy yoghurt, and then top with your favourite fruit.
