When Decorating...

Whip the fresh cream with a small drop of vanilla extract and again fill your piping bag fitted with the star shaped nozzle with the mix. Pipe the cream onto each of the mini pavlovas and top with berries of your choice. Sprinkle with grated chocolate or drizzle melted chocolate over the pavlovas and dust with icing sugar.
