BISCUIT TORTINI RECIPE

Biscuit Tortini is a special thing to make for the family. My children and grand children all come to nanna and poppys for a special meal once a month and after the meal we all sit around eating Biscuit Tortini it makes a wonderful ending to a family meal.

Biscuit Tortini Ingredients

3 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
a pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups cream
3/4 tsp vanilla essence
3/4 cup ground almonds
1 1/2 tsp almond essence

Biscuit Tortini Method

Take the eggs out of the refrigerator and separate the whites and allow them to stand in a bowl at room temperature for about an hour. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil uncovered until the syrup spins a fine thread when dropped from a spoon. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form then pour the hot syrup in a thin stream over them beating constantly until the mixture forms very thick peaks when the beaters are raised. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Combine the almond essence and the ground almonds, mixing well. Whip the cream and flavour with the vanilla and fold into the egg white mixture blending evenly. Spoon into paper lined patty tins and sprinkle the top of each Biscuit Tortini with a little grated chocolate and a cherry. Freeze until firm and then enjoy.
