This dessert platter was the final part of the Champagne Dinner.
Meringues
The recipe is based on Nigella’s basic meringue.
I added approx 1 tbsp of finely grated orange zest after all the sugar had been incorporated. I also piped mine onto trays rather than using a spoon. These meringues were the best part of the dessert and I will make again.
Champagne Mousse
The recipe comes from SprinkleBakes blog.
I didn’t love the texture. Probably wouldn’t make again or if I did I wouldn’t freeze it.
Champagne Truffles
The recipe is from Martha Stewart.
I replaced cognac with Cointreau. I also found that the truffles kept absorbing the sugar so they didn’t look as lovely as those on the web – tasted good though!
[…] To conclude the meal, Jacinta made champagne cupcakes with strawberry frosting and a dessert platter of frozen champagne mousse with mini meringues and truffles. […]
