Meringues à la Chantilly
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Anonymous, 1920
Ingredients
- 6 egg whites
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 120 grams sweet almond paste
- fine sugar for dusting
- Chantilly cream, well-beaten
Instructions
- Beat the six egg whites with the powdered sugar over gentle heat (on warm ash), stirring constantly, until the mixture evaporates slightly and becomes thick.
- Add the almond paste and fold it completely into the meringue.
- Using a spoon, form the meringue into small round or oval shapes, about the size of a spoon, being careful to leave a hollow space in the center of each one.
- Dust the meringues with very fine sugar and place them in the oven. Bake until they have risen and are set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Fill each meringue with the well-beaten Chantilly cream and cover with the other half to form a sandwich.
