Time 30m

Yield 24 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 ounces hazelnuts, raw or blanched
5 ounces confectioners' sugar, plus 2 ounces confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
4 egg whites
5 ounces extra-fine sugar
Serving suggestion: Frangelico Ganache, recipe follows
1 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean or vanilla bean shell
1 to 2 tablespoons Frangelico, a hazelnut liqueur
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chop

Steps:

  • Hazelnut powder:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly butter it, set aside.
  • If hazelnuts are raw, toast them in the oven, and then rub the skins off in a clean, dry dishtowel. Blanch toasted hazelnuts in boiling water for 30 seconds and then immediately chill them in ice water. Squeeze the nuts through the skins.
  • Grind the hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade with 5 ounces confectioners' sugar, until smooth and fine, approximately 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Whisk together the hazelnut powder, 2 ounces confectioners' sugar, and flour lightly.
  • In a standing mixer, whip the egg whites on medium speed. When whites begin to foam, increase speed to high. When whites are at stiff peak, pour in the extra-fine sugar. Fold in dry ingredients in 3 additions.
  • Pour meringue mixture into piping bag without a tip. Pipe teardrop shapes with 2-inch diameter bottoms onto prepared sheet pan.
  • Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Meringues will puff and begin to burst when finished baking. Meringues will be crispy on the outside but soft in the middle.
  • Serve immediately, or let cool and fill or top with ganache.
  • In a small sauce pan heat the heavy cream, vanilla bean, and Frangelico to a simmer. Place chocolate into a metal bowl. Once the cream simmers, remove the vanilla bean and pour it over the chocolate, stir until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature. With a rubber spatula, scrape ganache into a pastry bag fitted with a medium size star tip, and pipe into Hazelnut Meringues.

These meringues were a bit too delicate for my taste. They broke easily when I tried to eat them.

I had some trouble getting the meringues to stiffen, but I eventually got them there. They were worth the effort, though. They were delicious!

These meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good.

I'm not a big fan of meringues, but these were surprisingly good. The hazelnut flavor really made them special.

I found that the meringues took a little longer to bake than the recipe stated, but they were still perfect.

I was a bit skeptical about how well the hazelnut flavor would come through, but I was pleasantly surprised. The meringues had a subtle but distinct hazelnut flavor that was very enjoyable.
