Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt at medium speed until foamy.
- Gradually add granulated sugar while whisking until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the almond mixture into the meringue with a spatula, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
Baking
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe out circles onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space in between.
- Bake the meringues for 25-30 minutes until they feel dry and crisp. Cool on sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cream Filling and Assembly
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and continue beating until stiff peaks return.
- Once the Dacquoise layers are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cream filling onto one meringue layer. Top with another layer and repeat until all layers are used.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Notes
Store Almond Dacquoise Cream Clouds in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover lightly with plastic wrap. For longer storage, you can freeze the assembled dessert for up to one month.
