Dry meringue and chocolate ‘popcorn’

Dry meringue

• 150 g sugar
• 100 g egg whites

Combine the egg whites and sugar and heat up to 40ºC. Whip in a mixer until peaks form. With the help of a pastry bag, pipe meringue strips on a silicone mat. Bake in a 120ºC oven until the meringues become dry. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Cut irregularly. Store in an airtight container.
