Chocolate Beehives

Chocolate Beehives

I've been spending time in the kitchen almost everyday recently. Either I'm baking cakes for orders or my mom is making me bake some stuff we found in Food Magazines I bought a few days ago (and I think I should buy more). Anyway, yeah. I found these in one of the food magazines I've bought. I've seen this type of dessert around the mall while I was window shopping. Hehe.

I followed the recipe itself and I'm pretty satisfied with the results, all except for one. I will tell you later.

The brownies' texture are pretty good, it's not all too fudgy, it's just right. I like it. I sliced them in 2" squares.

After baking and slicing the brownies, you need to do the Italian Meringue. I have to admit at first I was kind of nervous making it since it's been months since I last made Italian meringue. I got lucky and it turned out well. So pipe the meringue on top of the brownies in swirling motion for several times until it resembles like a beehive.

And last but not the least pour ganache over the top. I don't like the ganache of this recipe. Did you see the first picture? It's so thin. I should've used my own ganache recipe. But heck, I wanna try this recipe so I did. Whatever.

I put sprinkles on top since I don't have sliced almonds stocked at home. My sisters loved this dessert. The meringue is marshmallow-y in texture I must say! :D
