(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 2 egg whites
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 2tbsp cocoa
  • 75g roasted almonds, roughly chopped
  • 50g milk, white or dark chocolate, chopped

Method:

Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4.

Whisk the egg whites until they resemble stiff peaks.

Gradually whisk in the sugar a spoonful at a time.

Fold in the cocoa and almonds, reserving a few nuts for topping the ‘rocks’.

Put small spoonfuls of the mixture on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a heatproof Te flon mat.

Bake for about 15 mins until set and leave to cool on the tray.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl, and using a piping bag or fork, drizzle the rocks with melted chocolate. Scatter with the reserved nuts.
