Make chocolate meringue nests for a blissful dessert pairing with espresso.
Ingredients:
  • 4 egg whites
  • 0.63 gm cream of tartar
  • 215g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 20.00 gm cocoa powder, sifted
  • 155g (1 1/2 cups) almond meal
  • 1 tsp almond essence
  • 100g good-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • Espresso coffee, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160°C and line 2 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper for easy cleanup.
  • Whip egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric beater until soft peaks form in a clean, dry bowl. Slowly add sugar and continue to whisk until sugar dissolves. Gently fold in cocoa powder, almond meal, and almond essence using a metal spoon until thoroughly mixed.
  • Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a fluted 1cm-diameter nozzle. Pipe sixty 2cm-round meringues onto a tray, spacing them about 2cm apart. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the meringues are crisp. Allow them to cool completely before serving.
  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, stirring with a metal spoon until smooth.
  • 1. Begin by gently dipping the base of one meringue into the luscious melted chocolate, then sandwich it with another meringue. Repeat this delightful process with the remaining meringues and chocolate. 2. Place the exquisite creations on a tray and allow them to set for 10 minutes. 3. Serve these heavenly treats alongside a steaming cup of coffee. Enjoy!
