Fresh Cream Meringues

What are Fresh Cream Meringues?

These Fresh Cream Meringues are a great treat to have with a cup of your favourite beverage with your family and friends over a chat.

You can also try making these meringues with any of our amazing Natural Flavoured Icing Sugars!

Ingredients

• 250g Flavoured Whipping it Up Mixture flavour of your choice
• 70ml Warm (Room Temperature) Water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275°f, 100°c Fan, 1/2 Gas

1. Place 250g mixture and 70ml water into a Grease-free clean mixing bowl with a whisk attachment, and blend until light and fluffy, forming stiff peaks, like meringue.
   
2. Fill a large piping bag, using various nozzles a 1M Star tip or large round tip is great.
   
3. Pipe on to greaseproof paper on a baking tray into long fingers or rounds depending on what shape you want your meringues to be.
   
4. Bake for 50- 55 minutes, you should be able to tap the base and they will come gently off the greaseproof paper.
   
5. Place on to a cooling rack to cool completely before gently peeling off your greaseproof paper.
   
6. Once the meringues have cooled, melt some Callebaut Chocolate and dip the bottom of the meringue shells in the chocolate and leave to dry completely.
   
7. Whip the double cream with the whisk attachment and add 2 tbsp of Sugar and Crumbs Natural flavoured Icing Sugar of your choice.
   
8. Using a 1M Star Tip nozzle pipe cream onto 1 half of the meringue shell and top with another meringue shell.
   
9. This is optional but you can melt some White Callebaut Chocolate and drizzle across the top of the filled meringues.

Top Tips

• The larger they are the longer you will need to bake for (eg approximately up to an hour).

• When they lift off the greaseproof paper they are cooked, you can now remove from the oven.
