How to Make Meringue Shells (A Sweet Valentine Dessert for Two!)
If you haven't seen last week's video yet, you might just want to do that! You see, this 3-D meringue shell, which stands about three inches tall, is a step up (literally) from the simple heart cookie and tart shell that we covered last week. But . . . if you're already a meringue aficionado, you're in the right place. Here, I take you through all the prep and piping details to make this special Valentine dessert shell, perfectly sized to serve two!

HARD MERINGUE RECIPE:
. 4 large egg whites (about 4 to 4 1/2 ounces or 113 to 127 g)
. Water-based food coloring, to your desired hue (I usually add a few drops Chefmaster liqua-gel coloring for a pale hue)
. 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
. 1 cup (about 7 ounces or 198 g) ultra-fine or superfine sugar
. 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional)
. Extract (or non-oil-based flavoring), to taste
Special Notes:
. I find the meringue ends up with better definition when I use cold whites from the refrigerator, and closer to 4 than 4 1/2 ounces egg whites.
. Ultra-fine or superfine sugar is finer than regular granulated sugar, but coarser than powdered (aka confectioners') sugar; I do not recommend substituting either regular granulated or powdered sugar for the superfine sugar in this recipe.
Method: Please refer to last week's video:

How To Make Meringue Nests | Good Housekeeping UK
Make meringue nests for a dinner party dessert with our step-by-step video
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peak stage. Gradually add caster sugar while continuing to whisk until meringue is very stiff and shiny.
2. Prepare a piping bag with a star nozzle and put in a jug to hold steady. Spoon in meringue and twist top to secure bag.
3. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Starting in centre, pipe outwards in a spiral, to form a circle about 7.5cm (3in) diameter. Pipe little stars around outer edge to create nest shapes. Repeat with remaining mixture.
4. Bake at 140°C (120°C fan) mark 1 for 1hr. Remove from oven and leave to cool on baking tray before carefully transferring to a serving plate and filling with freshly whipped cream and fruit.
