Hazelnut Meringue Bombs Recipe
Whip 6-8 Tbsp room temperature butter on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until very fluffy and almost white in color. Remember to scrape the bottom of the bowl several times throughout whipping. If you’re using a hand-held mixer it might take 7-9 minutes.
Add the pastry cream into the whipped butter in thirds, minimally whipping after each addition.
Store Dulce De Leche Mousseline Cream in a closed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
Assemble
-
Fill a ziplock bag with the creme, or use a spoon to add the creme to the cookies.
-
Pipe a good amount on the bottom part of half of the meringues, then press the other half on top.
-
The process is the same regardless of what kind of meringue you use to make these cookies.
-
Roll the exposed part of the frosting in some chopped nuts.
-
Refrigerate the sandwiched cookies, covered, for at least 6 hours, or better yet – 12-24 hours before consuming. They’re best eaten next day, but can sit in the fridge for several days, tightly wrapped.
-
If you wish, you can dip the ends of each meringue into some melted chocolate, or chocolate ganache.
To make the chocolate ganache, pour 2-3 tablespoons of hot cream over 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate chips in proportions of 1:1. Let sit for 2 minutes then stir until smooth.
