Hazelnut coffee meringues
A magnificently indulgent dessert which tastes even better than it looks!
- Preparation: 30 mins
- Cooking: 120 mins
What you need:
- 50g toasted ground hazelnuts
- 1 tbsp Douwe Egberts Instant coffee (Pure Smooth), ground finely in pestle and mortar
- 2 egg whites
- 220g caster sugar
- 1 jar chocolate and hazelnut spread
What you do:
- Oven temperatures in 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2
- Pre-heat the oven and line a baking tray with parchment. Mix the hazelnuts with the ground Douwe Egberts coffee.
- To make the meringues, separate 2 egg whites into a large grease-free clean bowl. Using an electric hand whisk - starting on the slowest setting - begin whisking the egg whites until you reach the foamy stage, then increase the speed to medium for 1 more minute. Next, increase the speed to the highest setting working through soft peaks to stiff peaks. Next, gradually add in the sugar and continue whisking at top speed until it has all been incorporated.
- Carefully fold in the hazelnut and coffee mixture, creating a marbled effect.
- Drop tablespoon-sized dollops onto your lined baking tray before putting them on the middle shelf of your oven.
- Cook for 30 mins before turning the oven off and leaving until the oven has gone cold (usually 3-4 hrs). This allows the meringues to dry out.
- Before serving, sandwich each meringue together with a tsp of chocolate and hazelnut spread.
