Using a small spatula, shape meringue into pavlovas, creating a light marbled effect. Bake 1 hour 30 mins to 1 hour 45 mins or until meringues are crisp and dry. Turn oven off. Cool meringues in oven with door ajar.

  4. For the white Christmas place white chocolate and oil in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High 1 to 2 mins or until melted and smooth. Add rice bubbles, stirring well to coat. Spread out onto a baking paper-lined tray. Decorate with sprinkles. Refrigerate until set.

  5. Roughly crumble white Christmas. Place one pavlova on a serving plate. Top with half the cream, raspberries, Turkish delight and white Christmas. Repeat with remaining pavlova and toppings. Serve immediately.
