Meringue with Chocolate

Course: Dessert

Keyword: chocolate, meringue

Equipment

• Stand Mixer

Ingredients

• 6 Egg whites
• 250 g Dehydrated whole sugar cane
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 oz 70% semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup Almond slices, toasted

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
• Add the egg whites into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Begin to whip at medium-high speed until the egg whites begin to froth. Add in the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until it is gone. Continue to whip the meringue until it holds stiff peaks and is glossy.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spatula to transfer the meringue onto the parchment paper, creating a circle, 3" tall and about 8" wide.
• Put the meringue into the oven and bake for 1 hour.
• After the alloted time, turn the oven off, barely crack the oven door, and allow the meringue to sit in the warm oven for 30 minutes.
• While the meringue is cooling, pour the heavy cream into the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on high until the whipped cream holds a soft peak. Set aside.
• Next, coarsely chop the chocolate, place it in a glass bowl, and melt it over indirect heat until just melted. You can make-shift a double brioler by placing a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl and the boiling water don't touch.
• To serve, cut the meringue into wedges like a pie. Serve each meringue wedge with a dollop of whipped cream, a swirl of melted chocolate, and a few pinches of toasted almounds.
