Colm O'Gorman: This is the best pavlova I've ever tasted — here's how to make it

The perfect summer dessert with strawberry, sumac and pomegranate

Colm O'Gorman's Strawberry, Sumac and Pomegranate Pavlova

This is the best pavlova I have ever tasted. Crisp meringue with a perfectly soft mallow centre, with a tangy labneh cream, topped off with beautiful Wexford strawberries that have been macerated in sugar, pomegranate molasses and sumac, finished with a scatter of pomegranate seeds and some fresh mint.

The balance of flavour in this dessert is phenomenal. Pavlova can be a little on the sweet side, so I for this recipe I have combined homemade labneh with whipped cream and macerated the strawberries in sumac and pomegranate molasses to balance the sweetness.
