Muscat Beaumes de Venise Sweet Wine

Beaumes is famed for its wine made from the Muscat grape. Rich, sweet and luscious with a touch of white flower on the finish. A delicious and subtle dessert wine. Buy this wine if you like: Sweet dessert wines that are lighter in style.

Description

These pretty meringues are just too, too lovely to eat only at Easter, topped as they are with creamy Alpro Chocolate soya desserts.

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 130ºC/250ºF/Gas½, and line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper.

    In a clean, dry bowl, using an electric whisk whizz the egg whites, salt, cream of tartar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. On a fast speed, whisk in the sugar a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is stiff and glossy, then gently fold in the hazelnuts.

    Pipe or spread the meringue into 6 nests on the baking sheet, and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the meringues are firm to the touch and come away easily. Transfer the meringues to a rack and allow to cool.

    Lightly crush most of the mini eggs and fold into the chocolate desserts. (Keep a few back for decoration.) Spoon into the meringue nests and top with the remaining eggs.
