Not sure I can be bothered with the stress of making the perfect pav for Christmas but everyone here loves the Cowells one anyway.I don't put cream on mine though - just fruit - as Mr 18 doesn't like cream and it's easy enough for the rest of us to add it if we want to.

They're not crunchy though.buy some small meringues to put on top - best of both worlds!

Excuse me! Made this pav last night. 3 cups of icing sugar! NO WAY! What a waste of eggs etc. Hideously sweet, and didn't rise.

Just made the Edmonds Magic Pavlova which is in the shape of an egg and can be purchased from New World. All you do is add 130 g sugar and 140 g water,beat and cook for an hour and has a beautiful marshmallow filling with a thin crust.So easy and reliable.

This is the recipe I've been using for years.Never fails.
6 egg whites 1 3/4 cups caster sugar 1 tsp malt vinegar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 tsp cornflour 1 tbsp boiling water Preheat oven to 100 C. Place all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 15 minutes until smooth, glossy and when you rub a little mixture between your thumb and index finger you cannot feel grains of sugar. Draw a 24 cm circle on a sheet of baking paper – easiest to draw round the edge of a cake pan.Place the baking paper on an oven tray and pile the mixture into the circle, smoothing edges.Bake for 1 1/4 hours and then turn off the oven and allow to sit in the oven with the door closed for at least another hour or until the oven is cold.
