You will make a big show in front of your family and guests with these beautiful meringues.

Tender meringues are glued together with delicious chocolate cream and covered with homemade candied coconut, which absolutely everyone can prepare.

Ingredients:

For the meringues:

• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, sifted

For the chocolate cream:

• 2 oz 70% chocolate
• 2 spoons of cream
• 1 1/2 cup whipped cream

For decoration:

• 2 cups grated coconut
• 10 tablespoons of basic sugar syrup

Method:

Candied Coconut:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• Mix the coconut with the syrup to coat well.
• Spread on a tray lined with baking paper.
• Bake until the coconut is no longer wet, stirring the coconut occasionally with a fork.
• Leave to cool.

Meringue:

• Preheat the oven to 290°F.
• Line two trays with baking paper.
• In the clean bowl of an electric mixer, beat all the powdered sugar with the egg whites.
• Beat at full speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
• Mix in the cocoa powder and transfer to a piping bag with a round tip.
• Shape into small pointed shapes and bake for 45 minutes or until set, crispy, and comes away from the parchment paper easily.
• Leave to cool.
• Next, prepare the chocolate cream.
• Melt the chocolate in a water bath.
• When the chocolate is melted, remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of the cream, stirring to make a smooth, glossy ganache.
• Carefully fold the whipped cream into the ganache in three stages.
• If you’re not careful, the cold whipped cream will cause the ganache to thicken and streak throughout the cream.
• Pour the chocolate cream into a clean piping bag with a round tip.
• Spread a small amount of chocolate cream on the base of one snow meringue and cover it with another meringue.
• Wrap the edge of all the glued meringues with candied coconut to stick to the chocolate cream pushed out from the center.
• Arrange the meringues on a pretty stand and serve with gently whipped cream.
