Drain and chill pineapple slices. Spread chocolate cake
with a thin layer of chocolate icing. When set cut into 9cm circles. Make
meringues by beating 3 egg whites with a pinch of salt and cream of tartar
until frothy. Gradually beat in 6 tblsns castor sugar. When very firm flavour
with vanilla essence. Spoon into about 9cm circles on foil-lined baking trays. Bake
in slow oven (160°C) until firm. At serving-time place a circle of iced
chocolate cake on dessert plate, top with a meringue and then one or two slices
chilled pineapple. Garnish with whipped cream, cherry and mint leaves.
I sounds like it needs some sort of sauce to moisten it - what was it like?
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty good - well - it was made with meringue and cream - but good idea, a strawberry coulis would be delicious!
