Meringue nests with passion fruit coulis and Cadbury Creme Egg ganache

What You’ll Need:

For the Meringue

  • 2 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 100g caster sugar

For the Passion Fruit Coulis

  • 250 ml passion fruit puree (thaw if frozen)
  • 240g sugar

For the Ganache

  • 5 Cadbury Creme Eggs, melted
  • 100g butter
  • 8 Cadbury Creme Eggs, cut into small pieces

What To Do:

For the Meringue

  • Pre-heat your oven to 120C.
  • Put your 2 egg whites into a large clean bowl and whisk on a medium speed. Keep whisking until they form stiff peaks.
  • Add the caster sugar (100g) a tablespoon at a time and whisk until combined. The meringue should now look nice and glossy.
  •  Now you need to pipe the meringue nests. Line your baking tray with greaseproof paper or non-stick baking sheet. Use a bit of butter to make it stick to the tray.
  • Put you meringue into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
  • Start by piping a dot in the centre of your meringue nest, then in one continuous motion, go around the dot twice to make a bigger circle, and then go around again on top of the outer circle to make the sides.
  • Repeat until you’ve piped all 8 nests.

For the Passion Fruit Coulis

  • In a medium sized saucepan, mix the passion fruit and sugar together. Bring to the boil on a medium heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  • Put aside to cool.

For the Ganache

  • In a saucepan heat up a small amount of water and place a glass bowl on top (like a bain marie).
  • Place the 4 Cadbury Creme Eggs and butter in the glass bowl and stir until all the ingredients have melted (this should take approximately 4 or 5 mins).The mixture should have a slight gloss and be quite runny.
  • Leave to cool for a minute or two. Drizzle the ganache and coulis over the nest and top with broken pieces of Cadbury Creme Egg.
