Place the Pavlova in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 150°C / Gas Mark 2.

To make the raspberry coulis -
Tip the raspberries and Whitworths twist and sprinkle icing sugar into a blender, blitz for a few seconds and then pass the mixture through a fine sieve, using the back of a spoon to push the sauce through.
When the meringue has completely cooled the Pavlova can be assembled.
Transfer from the baking paper onto a serving plate.
Spoon the softly whipped cream onto the meringue, scatter with the raspberries and slices of strawberry.
Pour over the raspberry coulis, decorate with Whitworths twist and sprinkle icing sugar and serve immediately.
