Dacquoise: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe for 5 Star Desserts


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

– 6 large egg whites
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– 1 ½ cups almond flour
– ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
– 2 cups unsweetened heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chocolate ganache (or filling of your choice)
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)


Instructions

Creating an amazing Dacquoise dessert may seem daunting, but it can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Beat Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating.
3. Add Sugar: Gradually add granulated sugar, about a tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy.
4. Fold in Almond Flour: Gently fold in almond flour until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
5. Pipe Meringue Circles: Using a piping bag, pipe circles onto the prepared baking sheets. You’ll need about three circles for each layer.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. Meringues should be dry and crisp.
7. Cool Meringues: Turn off the oven and let meringues cool in the oven for about 1 hour. Once cool, gently lift off parchment paper.
8. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
9. Assemble the Layers: Place one meringue layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over it, then add chocolate ganache or your preferred filling. Repeat with remaining layers.
10. Chill: Once assembled, place the Dacquoise in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set before serving.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Just before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
