Dacquoise is a base of the pastry, prepared with meringue and dried fruits. In general, it is possible to use different types of dried fruits according to the taste you need. Dacquoise is, in fact, used as an insert in modern cakes (those prepared in rings, such as Bavarian cakes) in replacement (or integration) of sponge cake. For a good result of the Dacquoise, I suggest you pay particular attention to the cooking that must be short and at high temperature to preserve the product's humidity. This recipe will allow you to obtain a Dacquoise cookie of the right consistency. Remind that you can change the type of dried fruit flour, always keeping the same weight.

Notes
The peculiarity of Dacquoise is to soak up the humidity of the creams used as filling, thus developing a very soft and pleasant texture to chew. Unlike the egg biscuit, dacquoise blends into the structure of the cake, while the biscuit maintains its distinct texture.

Salve , non capisco le quantità dello zucchero…150 gr con albumi e gli altri 200 gr con farina di mandorle ? Grazie
Esatto!
150gr vanno mixati con la farina di mandorle, mentre i 200gr vanno aggiunti nella montata di albumi
Spero sia più chiaro ora! 🙂
A presto!
