Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place the egg whites into a food mixer and whisk on full power until stiff peaks form, turn the machine down to its lowest power setting and very slowly tap in the sugar.
  • Spoon the meringue into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe the meringue nests on to grease proof paper.
  • Place the nest into a very low oven Gas 1/2 until they have dried out. Do not allow any colour whatsoever.
  • Place in to an air tight container lined with kitchen paper.
  • Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl over hot water, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, add the sugar and whisk again until smooth, semi-whip the double cream and fold the melted chocolate into the double cream using a spatula.
  • Fold in the whipped egg whites and ground pistachios.
  • Place in the refrigerator to firm up a little.
  • Use the mousse to fill your nests before it has set completely.

    Is castor sugar like a powdered sugar or a granulated sugar? I am dying of curiosity and I would also love to try making this =D.
