Lara MCoffee Flavoured Meringues

Ingredients:
2 Egg Whites
125grams Castor Sugar
1 Tsp instant coffee powder
Thickened Cream or Yoghurt
2 Tablespoons of cocoa
Method:
Preheat the oven to 125 degrees Celsius. Beat the egg whites (make sure the bowl is very clean or it might not work properly) with the coffee with an electric beater until those lovely stiff peaks you always hear about appear. Add the sugar one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat in between. The mixture should be glossy. Spoon blobs of the desired size onto a well greased baking tray. Place the tray into the oven and bake for two hours. Let them cool in the oven. Serve with thickened cream or yoghurt between two meringues as pictured. Dust with cocoa for effect. Eat them all at once, they don’t taste no good after a few hours!
Okay, I have a confession to make. I’m a horrible fraud!
When we made these meringues we used baking paper instead of greasing the tray and guess what – they stuck to the paper. I had to spend ages trying to scrape the bottoms off with a spoon. Also the instant coffee we used was out of date by two months!
Despite all this we ate them anyway, and they tasted pretty good.

P.S. Apparently tiramisu isn't made out of coffee meringue...friend told me today!
