| 1. To make the meringues, heat the oven to 275 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. | 2. Using a spice grinder, finely grind the cardamom seeds, clove, allspice and cinnamon together. | 3. Whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form, then gradually whisk in the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until you have a stiff, shiny mixture. | 4. Fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, vanilla, spice mix and orange zest. | 5. Divide the mixture into two on the prepared baking sheet and use the back of a spoon to make a slight hollow in the centre of each. | 6. Bake for 50 minutes until crisp, then turn off the heat and leave the meringues cooling in the oven for 30 minutes. | 7. Finish cooling on a wire rack. | 8. For the figs, put all the ingredients (except the figs) in a saucepan and bring to the boil. | 9. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 30 minutes. | 10. Reheat the liquid, pour over the figs, then leave over night or at least, until cool. | 11. Drain the figs, reserving the liquid, and thickly slice each into 2 or 3 pieces. | 12. To make the sauce, put 125 ml of the reserved fig liquid and sugar in a pan. | 13. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then whisk in the cocoa and chocolate. | 14. The mixture will thicken as the chocolate melts. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. | 15. To assemble, spoon a little creme fraiche onto each pavlova, top with the fig slices and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve extra sauce on the side. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
