How to make French Dacquoise Recipe
French Dacquoise Recipe
☞ Dacquoise mold: 6 slots, 7x5x1cm for each slot, if you don’t have dacquoise mold, you can use baking rings.
☞ Yields: This recipe can make 3 sets of dacquoise sandwiches for one egg white, you can use two or three egg whites to make 6 or 9 sets as you wish.
✎ Ingredients
☞ For dacquoise
powdered sugar 10g
All purpose flour 8g
almond flour 30g
medium egg white 1, 35g
granulated sugar 20g
☞ For French coffee buttercream (Cream au beurre cafe)
instant coffee granules 1g
hot water 4g
medium egg yolk 2, 36g
granulated sugar 45g
water 20g
unsalted butter 80g, softened and cubed
✎ Instrcutions
☞ For dacquoise
1. Use a sieve to sift the almond flour, powdered sugar and all purpose flour.
2. Place the egg whites and a bit of pinch of salt in a clean and dry bowl, beat the egg white with an hand electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Then add the sugar one-third at a time, beat 30 seconds before adding the next.
3. After adding the rest of sugar, continue beating for 2 more minutes, then switch to low speed to beat for 30 seconds or until stiff peaks.
4. Add one half of dry ingredients into the meringue, making sure not to mix too much. Then add the rest of dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture until just combined.
5. Attach a tip to a piping bag and transfer the dacquoise mixture to the piping bag.
6. Pipe out the batter into the dacquoise slot. Use a scraper or offset spatula to smooth the surface and remove excess batter, and then use a toothpick to dip the water and to smooth out the shape.
7. Remove the mold carefully. Lightly dust the powdered sugar over the dough for the first time, after the powdered sugar is just absorbed into the batter, dust more powdered sugar over it again. This will create a better crust on the surface.
8. Preheat the oven to 230°C, reduce to 180°C and bake for 9-10 minutes, when time’s up, leave it in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, stay with the baking tray to cool completely.
☞ For French coffee buttercream
1. Dissolve the 1g of instant coffee in 4g of hot water. Set aside to cool.
2. Add two egg yolks into the mixing bowl and beat until thick and pale.
3. Combine 45g sugar and 20g water in a small saucepan, heat over on med-low heat, cook until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup reaches 117°C.
4. Then immediately remove from heat and slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the bowl with the yolks, keep whisking on high speed until all syrup is added. Switch to low speed to whisk until the mixture (pâte à bombe) is cooled down to room temperature.
5. Add in 80g of softened butter one third at a time, allowing each batch to incorporate before adding the next. Mix to smooth.
6. Add the dissolved coffee and mix well, then pipe in a piping bag.
