I missed the last two Daring Bakers Challenges, but now I’m back! Unfortunately I have to say this challenge wasn’t really my thing. Meringues we made before. To make a change it had been nice if we had to do an Italian or Swiss Meringue. Anyway, I did it. First I prepared the Meringue the following day I wanted to make the Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse, but what surprise, when I opened the Mascarpone, there was no Mascarpone rather a furry something. So I used Ricotta instead, a good substitute.

The June 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard.
To see the original recipe please head over to the Daring Kitchen Headquarter. There you will also find all the Pavlovas my fellow Daring Bakers made.

What a great effort even if you have made everything before and I really like your subs with the ricotta cheese. Well done on this challenge. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.
Furry thing, instead of mascarpone? How awful!
You’ve done a good job with the ricotta.
Love the lighter ricotta cream,very well done :D
Zorra, Sorry you weren’t crazy about the challenge. Still, though, it looks really good!
A lovely pavlova! You did a great job again!
Cheers,
