Try our fun and colorful meringue pinata cones, perfect for breaking open at parties for a sweet surprise!
Ingredients:
  • 8 mini waffle cones
  • 2 egg whites, at room temperature
  • 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 60g dark chocolate, melted, cooled
  • Assorted lollies, for filling
  • 150g dark choc melts, melted
  • Chocolate sprinkles, to decorate
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 140C/120C fan forced. Trace circles on a sheet of baking paper using the open ends of the cones, giving them space 5cm apart. Then, place the paper ink-side down on a generously greased large baking tray.
  • Whip egg whites with electric beaters in a clean dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while beating constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture is thick and glossy. Drizzle cooled, melted chocolate over meringue (do not mix). Transfer meringue to a piping bag with a 1cm fluted nozzle using a large metal spoon.
  • Pipe meringue into circles, bake for 30 minutes. Then, lower the oven temperature to 120C/100C fan forced and bake for another 30 minutes until crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Place each cone upright in a narrow glass and distribute lollies evenly among them. Working with one cone at a time, coat the base and slightly up the sides of a meringue with melted chocolate melts. Gently place the meringue on the cone with the chocolate side facing down. Hold it firmly for 1-2 minutes until it sets. Spread a bit more melted chocolate around the edge of the meringue and cone, then sprinkle with sprinkles. Repeat the process with the remaining cones, meringues, melted chocolate, and sprinkles. Leave them to set before serving.
