Store pavlovas in an airtight container at room temperature, in a cool place. Keep sauces in airtight containers in the fridge. 20 second bursts until warm before serving. Place paper, trace-side down, onto prepared trays.

To make mini pavlovas, beat egg whites in a large bowl of an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until sugar is dissolved. Continue to beat for a further 5 to 6 minutes to form a thick and glossy meringue. Dot six to eight drops of colouring randomly over meringue.

Gently fold twice only, to create a marbled effect. Spoon meringue evenly into circles on trays. 4 Dot another drop of colouring onto each meringue and use a skewer to swirl through. 1 hour, or until pavlovas are dry and firm to touch. Leave pavlovas to cool in oven with door ajar for 1 hour. To make raspberry sauce, combine raspberries and sugar with 1 tablespoon water in a large saucepan.

To make chocolate sauce, place chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl. Sit bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. To serve, place whipped cream, passionfruit pulp and sauces in separate serving bowls.
