Dessert

2 large egg whites
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp raspberry vinegar
3 ½ oz light brown sugar twin crushed free of lumps
2 tsp red currant jelly
2 tsp unsweetened orange juice
¾ cup low fat unsweetened yogurt
6 oz raspberries, thawed if frozen
(rose-scented geranium leaves, to decorate, optional)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Line a large cookie sheet with baking parchment.
In a large, pre-chilled bowl, whisk the egg whites until very stiff and dry.
Fold in the cornstarch and vinegar. Gradually whisk in the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until the mixture is thick and glossy. Divide the mixture into four and spoon onto the cookie sheet, spaced well apart. Smooth each into a round, about 4 inches across, and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Leave to cool on the cookie sheet. Place the red currant jelly and orange juice in a small sauce pan and heat, stirring, until the jelly has melted. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, using a spatula, carefully remove each pavlova from the baking parchment and transfer to a serving plate. Top with unsweetened yogurt and raspberries. Smooth on the red currant jelly mixture to glaze. Decorate and serve.
