Nidos de merengue con salsa de maracuyá
Hice estos pequeños nidos de merengue como algo especial para Semana Santa.
Hay que tener paciencia con los merengues y a horno muy suave, pero vale la pena!
La salsa de maracuya le da un toque tambien se puede hacer con crema de limón.
Ingredientes
nidos de merengue
3 claras de huevo
1/4 cucharadita cremor tártaro
3/4 taza de azúcar en polvo
1/2 cucharadita extracto de vainilla
Preparación
Separar las claras de las yemas de a un huevo por vez.
Fijandose que no caiga nada de yema en las claras.
Dejar las yemas aparte para la crema de maracuyá.
Batir en un bol mediano las claras y agregar el cremor tártaro.
Batir a velocidad mediana hasta que se formen los merengues.Agregar el azúcar de a una cucharada por vez y continuar batiendo.
Hasta que el merengue tenga una consistencia sólida y brillante.
Finalmente agregar la 1/2 cucharadita de vainilla y batir un poco más.
Prender el horno a 110°c .
Preparar una bandeja de horno con papel mantequilla.
Usando una manga plástica con una boquilla hacer 5 o 6 nidos.
Cocinar hasta que esten secos y crujientes durante 1 hora y 1/2 en lo posible no abrir el hono.
Cuando esten listos apagar y dejar enfriar un rato.
Si no se van a servir de inmediato no rellenarlos porque se humedecen y pierden forma. rellenarlos justo antes de servir.
Crema de maracuyá
3 yemas
1/2 taza de azúcar
1/4 taza de maracuyá en salsa o congelada
1/2 taza de mantequilla en cubos
1 cucharada dejugo de limón
Preparación
En un sarten mezclar las yemas con la salsa de maracuyá a fuego suave.Agregar mezclando 1/2 taza de azucar y el jugo de limon.
Cocinar hasta que el azúcar se disuelva y finalmente agregar la mantequilla.
Cocinar unos 8 minutos siempre revolviendo.
Poner en un bol y dejar enfriar antes de rellenar los nidos.
Solo rellenar ANTES de servir para que no se humedzca el merengue.
