Making the Meringue Shell

The meringue shell is a crucial element of this recipe. It’s important to achieve the perfect meringue consistency, which should be light and fluffy. To make a meringue shell, you’ll need six egg whites, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt.

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy. Add the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt, and continue beating until soft peaks form.

Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continually beating the egg whites, until all the sugar has been added and the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks. Spoon the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and create a well in the center. Make sure that the edges are higher than the center to form a nest.

Bake the shell for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, and then reduce the heat to 200°F for an additional 1 to 2 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s crisp on the outside and dry inside. Set aside to cool.

Preparing the Chestnut Cream

While the meringue shell is cooling, you can move on to preparing the chestnut cream. You’ll need 14 ounces of canned sweetened chestnut puree, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Then fold in the chestnut puree until well combined.

Assembly and Glazing

To assemble the cake, carefully spoon the chestnut cream into the center of the meringue shell until it’s filled. Smooth the top with a spatula, and then brush the chestnut syrup over the top and sides of the cake. The chestnut syrup can be made with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water, brought to a simmer until dissolved.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving, or until the chestnut cream is firm and the glaze has set. You can also sprinkle chopped pecans over the top to add more flavor and texture.

In Conclusion

Chestnut Glazed Meringue Cake is a beautiful and delicious dessert that’s easy to make and sure to impress your guests. With its light, airy meringue shell, creamy chestnut filling, and sweet chestnut glaze, it’s a treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Give this recipe a try and see for yourself how delicious it is!
