Cooking Time: 1.5 hours
Makes: 8 servings
Ingredients
Meringue
4 egg whites
200g caster sugar
100g roughly chopped dark chocolate
Cream filling
250ml whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp icing sugar
Method
Preheat oven to 140c, 120c for fan ovens. Line two baking trays with non stick baking paper.
Using an electric whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff.
The egg whites will bubble and turn opaque when first whisking
After a few minutes, the egg whites get firmer
Slowly add in the sugar and whisk until firm and glossy.
Add the chopped chocolate and stir through gently.
Divide the mixture between the two lined baking trays, gently easing the mixture into circles.
Bake in the oven for 1.5 hours. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before removing from baking tray.
Pour the whipping cream and vanilla essence into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until the whisk leaves a pattern in the cream.
The runny cream will slowly firm up
Add the icing sugar and gently stir through. Leave in the fridge until ready to assemble cake.
Place one meringue circle onto a plate, spread the whipped cream across the meringue and then gently place the second meringue circle on top.
Serve at room temperature.
