Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roughly chop the walnuts and pistachio nuts. Combine them with the pine nuts in a bowl and set aside.
- In a large, clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until the mixture turns glossy and stiff peaks form.
4. Fold in Nuts and Chocolate:
- Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate and mixed nuts into the meringue with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Spoon the nut and chocolate meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 9-inch circle.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the meringue is crisp and slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the meringue from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Spread the light sour cream evenly over the top of the cooled meringue.
- Optionally, you can garnish with some extra chopped nuts or grated dark chocolate for presentation.
8. Enjoy:
- Slice the dark chocolate and nut meringue torte and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry before beating the egg whites to achieve the perfect meringue consistency.
- Toast the nuts lightly in a dry skillet before incorporating them into the recipe to enhance their flavor.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best results and a more intense chocolate flavor.
- Let the meringue cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar to prevent it from cracking.
