Blood and Guts Pavlova - Happy Halloween

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.
