Mini Meringues With Coconut Ice Cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- sugar
- 2 cups grated coconut
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 200 grams sugar
- 1 food coloring disposable piping bag, nozzle, and, gels
- Place the milk, egg yolks, and sugar in a heavy based pan, and gently heat on medium-low, stirring continuously with a whisk.
- When the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to minimum and continue to stir until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from the heat, add the syrup, coconut, and vanilla. Stir well and leave to cool.
- Whip the cream and gently add to the mixture.
- Place in an ice cream maker and follow the instructions. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
- If not using an ice cream maker, transfer the mixture to a metal container and place in the freezer until it begins to set.
- Remove from the freezer, stir with a whisk and return to freezer.
- Repeat this action at least twice.
- For the meringues, pre-heat the oven to 100C.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Whisk the egg whites with the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- When they begin to turn frothy, add the sugar, a little at a time, and continue to whisk on medium speed, until stiff and smooth. Set aside.
- Place the nozzle into the piping bag. Paint a thin line with the food coloring gels from the point of the nozzle to the edge of the bag.
- Repeat this action for as many lines or colors needed, taking care to keep the bag open so as not to let the colors mix.
- Fill the bag with the meringue and pipe small portions, 4 cm diameter, onto the baking tray, ensuring they are well spaced out.
- The meringues will emerge from the bag tinted with colors.
- Bake for 45 minutes-1 hour. To test if done, insert a knife under the meringue-if it comes loose immediately it is done. If not, continue to cook a little longer.
- Serve with coconut ice cream.
