meringue spheres

Spoil Santa and yourself with this unique meringue spheres filled with the chestnut whipped cream. Resembling snowballs, they make a gorgeous Christmas dessert. Want to serve it all-year-round? There is such an option too!

Christmas Meringue Spheres or Snowballs 

+ 2 tablespoons (100 g) icing (powdered) sugar

2.6 oz (75 g) chestnut cream

(150 g) whipping cream

dark rum

icing (powdered) sugar

lime, zest

To make the meringue,

beat egg whites in a stand mixer or using an electric mixer till they are mounted. Gradually add caster (granulated) sugar and whisk to get the glossy meringue. Stir in the icing (powdered) sugar with a rubber spatula. Place the meringue in a pastry bag with the cut end or Ateco plain pastry tip 806 and push it in the cavities of half-sphere molds. Smooth the meringue on the whole half-sphere with the back of a teaspoon, place silicone molds on the oven rack and bake for two hours. Take the meringues out of the oven and let cool down. Then carefully remove the meringue half-spheres from the molds.

To make chestnut whipped cream,

whip whipping cream to get whipped cream. Stir in the chestnut cream and dark rum using a rubber spatula. 

To assemble meringue spheres, make a small dot with chestnut whipped cream on a serving platter and fix a meringue hemisphere. Garnish this and another hemisphere with cream and place one on top of another to form a ball. Sprinkle the meringue dessert with icing (powdered) sugar and lime zest. Assemble the rest of the baked hemispheres in the same way.

Oh wow, this right here is a pastry chef quality dessert! I need to get that mold to make this, but in the meantime, I'm making that filling. It sounds like it will be a great filling for cream puff too. :)

My mother made meringues for us growing up, and we just love them. You've turned this into a really elegant dessert!

These are GORGEOUS. The best part is the surprise filling that nobody expects! Absolutely wonderful for the best time of the year :D
