Pavlova Grazing Board
Charocuterie boards are usually savoury and far from failsafe. But a few Christmases ago, my mum and I put together a sweet Pavlova one that was a huge hit. Sadly it was all consumed before I thought to get photos of it at the time. This is something that you can easily pull off yourself, looks amazing and wow all your family and friends. It is fun to watch everyone create their own pavlova masterpiece.

|
|
Some suggestions to include on your Pavlova Grazing board are:
|
Pre-baked mini pavlovas or meringue nests
|
Dollop cream
Pouring cream
|
|
Maple / golden / rice syrup
|
|
|
Carob chips/ buttons / sauce
|
|
Carob power, for dusting on top
|
|
If you can have moderate salicylate, add in apple. Banana for moderate amines. High salicylate; lychee, blueberries and mulberries. Mango is high salicylate and amines. Chocolate; very high amines.

I was completely unsure if this would work, gluten free baking can tend towards brittle and crumbly and there was a chance it would lack the structural integrity needed to hold its own weight. But it did work.
