Preparation Steps
- Add a cup of cashew nuts in a blender, grind coarsely and keep it aside.
- In a dry wide bowl add half a cup of egg whites and beat it into a soft foamy texture using an electric beater.
- Add powdered sugar to this one spoon at a time and continue to beat until it gets stiff peaks on the top.
- You can also test this by holding the bowl or a spoonful of this meringue upside down. If it didn't spill then it is perfect.
- At this stage do not over beat and add coarsely ground cashew nuts and mix by folding.
- Do not stir harshly as it can ruin the texture.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven at 100°C for around 15 - 30 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture in a piping bag and squeeze to make the cone shaped macaroons on the baking tray with parchment paper.
