Ingredients

1 pavlova magic (125 grams) (may be called meringue powder outside Australia)
375 grams Marie biscuits (1 ½ packets) (can substitute another sweet plain biscuit)
6 tablespoons cocoa
250 grams unsalted butter
200 grams glace cherries
120 grams slivered almonds
1 cup desiccated coconut
⅔ cup additional desiccated coconut (for rolling)

Instructions

Crush biscuits to a fine consistency. Combine with cocoa, almonds and cherries.
Melt butter.
Mix pavlova magic with 140ml of lukewarm water. Mix on high speed using an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes (which is shorter than the length of time specified on the pavlova magic instructions). Stir in coconut.
Add butter and pavlova magic mixture to the biscuit mixture. Stir well to combine.
Place mixture into fridge for half an hour (so it reaches a consistency suitable for rolling into logs).
Remove from fridge and divide mixture into four equal parts. Roll each part into a firm log shape. Roll in coconut and wrap the logs in aluminium foil.
Place wrapped logs into fridge to set overnight.
Slice logs into rounds using a sharp knife before serving.

Notes
