Notes

Nutritional is based on an unfilled pavlova.  To calculate the total for a decorated pavlova simply add your topping ingredients nutritional and divide by 12.  A low carb and calorie count was achieved through using a powdered sugar alcohol that is zero carb and zero calorie.
Serve with your favourite low carb toppings.
This pavlova is not overly sweet. To re-crisp a pavlova if it goes soft: Preheat oven to 200℃. When heat is achieved turn it down to 150℃ and add pavlova for 4-5 minutes to re-crisp.
I strongly recommend following this recipe and its cleaning and sanitising methods as per the instructions.  
Testing has proved that other sweeteners have unreliable affects.  Erythritol is preferred for its recrystallisation after heating. Powdered erythritol or Sukrin Melis result in a crispy exterior and marshmallow centre.
