Ingredients

  • 100 g aged egg whites
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 105 g superfine almond flour
  • 105 g powdered sugar
  • 5 g vanilla bean paste
  • 20 g rainbow sprinkles
  • 150 g white chocolate chips
  • 50 ml heavy cream
  • 15 g heat -treated yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together twice into a large bowl.
  • Whisk egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff, glossy peaks are achieved.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the meringue using the macaronage technique until the batter flows like lava and forms a continuous ribbon.
  • Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe 1.5-inch circles onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Tap the baking sheets firmly against the counter to release air bubbles and immediately top with rainbow sprinkles.
  • Rest the shells at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes until a dry skin forms on the surface.
  • Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15-18 minutes, then allow to cool completely before removing from the paper.
  • Heat heavy cream and pour over white chocolate; let sit for 2 minutes then stir until smooth.
  • Incorporate heat-treated cake mix and vanilla extract into the ganache, then chill until firm enough to pipe.
  • Pipe the cake batter ganache onto the flat side of one shell and sandwich with a second shell.
