Almond Meringue Stacks

INGREDIENTS

3 egg whites
1/4 cup flaked almonds
11/4 cups icing sugar, sifted

White and incredibly crisp these meringue discs make a very easy and stunning dessert.

METHOD

1. Place the egg whites and half the icing sugar into a clean bowl and beat on high speed for about 4-5 minutes until the mixture is thick and glossy.

2. Add the remaining icing sugar and continue beating until the mixture is very thick and has a strong sheen

3. Spread about 2 tablespoonfuls of mixture into 24 x 7cm rounds on baking paper-lined baking trays. Sprinkle one third of the meringues with flaked almonds.

4. Cook at 120°C for 1 1/2 hours or until well dried out. They should be just off-white in colour. Cool on the trays until cold and then store in an airtight container.

5. For each person, serve 3 meringue discs layered with cream and seasonal fruit, with the top disc being an almond one.
