Ingredients

Dough

• 1/2 cup whole almonds without skin, roasted and finely chopped
• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar

Caramel

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/3 cup oil-based liquid whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons margarine (use soy-free margarine if needed)

Method

Meringues

• Preheat the oven to 240°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites with the salt until foamy. Gradually beat in the sugar, about two tablespoons at a time, until stiff peaks form. Stir in two-thirds of the almonds.
• Put the meringue mixture in a pastry bag with a regular tip, and make meringues 1-2″ in diameter, with a swirl on top. 
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until crispy. Leave to cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack.

Caramel

• In a saucepan, stir the sugar and water over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Bring the sugar to a boil, simmer gently, and brush the sides of the pot with a brush dipped in cold water for about seven minutes or until the mixture turns a dark amber color.
• Turn your face away and immediately pour in a third of the whipped cream – the caramel may sizzle for a while. Cook for another minute or two or until all the solidified caramel has melted.
• Stir in the margarine and let cool.
• Decorate the meringues with the finished caramel according to your taste.
