How to Make Tray Baked Meringue W Pears Cream Toasted Hazelnuts Chocolate

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the meringue: In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup of caster sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Spread the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a large rectangle or oval. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until crisp and dry.
  4. While the meringue bakes, prepare the pear cream: Peel and dice 2 ripe pears. Sauté them in 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar until softened. Let cool.
  5. In a bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled pears.
  6. Toast 1/2 cup of hazelnuts in a dry pan until fragrant and golden brown. Chop coarsely.
  7. Once the meringue is cool, spread the pear cream evenly over it. Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts and grate 1 ounce of dark chocolate over the top.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
