Australians don't really celebrate Halloween. Shame because it looks like so much fun but it's hard to get into the spirit of it when no else on your street does. I did put my little boy in a Halloween outfit....though it wasn't exactly scary. I bought a kung fu outfit for him and only ended up visiting my mum & dad and then my aunt. Did he even get any lollies? No. He got a biscuit and a couple of fridge magnets.....
So we tried to make up for it with a blood and guts pavlova.
You just can't go wrong with a pavlova (recipe
here)
We used frozen raspberries (which ended up being a good idea because of that extra sauce in the bag creating the blood affect) and passhionfruit pulp. And don't forget the extra whipped cream too.
Maybe next year I can get more people into the spirit of Halloween.
LOL - a very effective but delicious Halloween treat. Hope your little boy enjoyed himself.
