Cream-Filled Meringues

Ingredients

2 egg whites

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 tbsp almonds

100 g butter

50 g white chocolate

100 g cream

2 tbsp powdered sugar

100 g berries

Chill the egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form, adding the sugar in three additions. Add the last portion of sugar to the stiff mixture along with the nuts and juice, and mix well.

Place the whipped egg whites in a pastry bag fitted with a narrow tip and pipe circles 3-4 cm in diameter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then, pipe a strip around the edge of each circle to create tarts.

 Bake for 20-30 minutes at 120°C (250°F), taking care not to let the meringues brown. Then turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and let the meringues cool completely.

For the frosting, beat the butter and powdered sugar together. Pour in the chocolate, whisking constantly. When the mixture is soft and fluffy, fold in the mashed berries and cream. Cool. Fill the tarts with the frosting and decorate with white chocolate shavings.

Enjoy!
