5 large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch of cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar

1
Make the Pavlova: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until very foamy, about 2 minutes.
3
Gradually beat in the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time (this should take about 3 minutes).
4
Continue beating until stiff and shiny, about 3 more minutes.
5
Sift the cocoa powder over the egg white mixture and sprinkle with the chopped chocolate; fold to combine.
6
Spread the meringue into an 8-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, making a shallow well in the center.
7
Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F; bake until firm and dry, about 2 hours.
8
Turn off the oven and open the door slightly.
9
Let the meringue cool in the oven, about 3 hours.
10
Carefully remove from the parchment and transfer to a platter.
11
Make the toppings: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
12
Toss the strawberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar.
13
Top the Pavlova with the whipped cream and strawberries.
