Acorn Meringue Recipe

Ingredients:

Egg White 75g
Caster Sugar 150g
Milk chocolate (tempered) 150g
New Farm Confectionery Pecan + Milk Chocolate Brittle 150g

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 100C (fan forced)

2. Weigh out the egg white and caster sugar

3. Whip egg whites until stiff peaks have formed

4. Slowly shake in caster sugar while whisking

5. Whisk on high for another couple of minutes until thick and glossy

6. Scoop mixture into piping bag and pipe onto a tray lined with baking paper. The meringues should have a base of approximately 5cm

7. Bake for one hours. Then turn off oven and let them sit inside the oven for another hour to cool completely

8. Whilst waiting smash your pre bought New Farm Confectionery Pecan and Milk Chocolate Brittle into a crumb consistency - you can use a food processor for this

9. Once ready, microwave temper your chocolate

10. Dip the bottom of the meringue in the chocolate and then directly into the brittle

11. Serve straight away or keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week

Tips:

Make sure all of your equipment is clean and dry.

Wipe your bowl and utensils with apple cider vinegar to eliminate residual fat which can cause meringues to deflate

Use a round piping tip in your piping bag to create a smooth droplet shape

If you prefer a dryer meringue you can cook it for an extra 30 min

Makes: 16 acorn meringues
