Chocolate Meringue   Nests  

Ingredients:

egg whites

milk chocolate

white granulated sugar

1

          Preheat the oven to 120 degrees Celsius / 250 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large oven tray with non-stick baking paper

2

        Make your meringue by separating the egg whites from the egg yolks. Take extreme care to not get any yolk into the whites, even a tiny speck of yolk in the white will result in a failed meringue.

3

Whisk the egg whites until they are white and frothy with soft peaks. Slowly add the sugar until you have a glossy, opaque white mixture that is fully incorporated

4

Line a baking tray and spoon the mixture onto it in small nests. Use the spoon to create a dip in the centre of the meringue nest.

5

Sprinkle some extra sugar over the meringue nests to help them brown sightly and crisp up

6

     Bake the mini meringue nests in the oven for 1 hour before turning the oven off and leaving until it has completely cooled. This allows the meringue nests to dry out

7

 Melt your chocolate and spoon it into a small piping bag. Cut 1mm from the tip, to leave a very small opening.

8

      Create your chocolate meringue nests by piping the melted chocolate over the meringue nests in a circular pattern to emulate sticks and branches.

9

 Leave the chocolate meringue nests to dry and then enjoy!
