Cooking steps

1. Whip the egg whites with salt on low speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar while increasing the whipping speed.

   Required ingredients:

   • Egg white: 6 pieces
   • Sugar: 5 tablespoon

2. When do the egg whites start to thicken? Add starch and continue whisking until stiff peaks form. Chop the nuts in a blender, but not to flour consistency. Leave one part without nuts and add 50 grams of nuts to the other.

   Required ingredients:

   • Potato starch: 3 tablespoons
   • Nuts: 150 g

3. Place on parchment paper after drawing circles of your desired size. I had 20 cm. Bake in a preheated oven at 120 degrees for 1-1.5 hours.

4. We melt the sugar by shaking the container (if the baking mold is Teflon, it can be used), without stirring. Let it cool.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 5 tablespoon

5. Mix the egg yolks well with powdered sugar until smooth.

   Required ingredients:

   • Egg yolk: 3 pieces
   • Powdered sugar: 40 g

6. Bring milk with sugar and vanilla sugar to a boil, then slowly pour in the yolk mixture while continuously stirring. Cook until thickened. Place the finished cream in the cold.

   Required ingredients:

   • Milk: 400 ml
   • Sugar: 5 tablespoon
   • Vanilla: 1 piece

7. On the meringue layer, spread the milk cream, sprinkle with nuts, then another layer, more cream and nuts, and so on. On the last layer (I had 5 layers), coat the edges with caramel, sprinkle with nuts, add caramel in the center, then broken meringue pieces, nuts, and chocolate.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 30%: 100 g
   • Nuts: 150 g
