LICORICE TOPS: RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 3 egg whites
• 200g brown sugar
• 150g milk chocolate
• 150g small licorice pieces

Direction:

1). Start with preheating the oven to 150 degrees celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit).

2). Whip the egg whites and brown sugar on an electric hand mixer. Do this for at least 10 minutes, so the mass is completely stiff.

3). Chop the chocolate finely.

4). Add the chocolate and small licorice pieces in the egg white mixture. Remember to turn the chocolate pieces in the egg mixture, since stirring the chocolate in, can damage the final layout.

5). Prepare a baking sheet on a baking tray.

6). Use a teaspoon to place the licorice top mixture on the baking tray.

7). Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes.

HAPPY baking and “Gjörðu svo vel” as the Icelandic saying goes (meaning ENJOY….)!

I hope you enjoy the baking and last but not least eating these peaces of heaven! Please do not hesitate to write me a comment below if you need any tips, help and/or inspiration with baking &/cooking Icelandic foods.

HEY there fellow food-lover! My biggest passion in life is FOOD! I am a health nutritionist from Copenhagen and I recently moved from Denmark to Iceland. Even though I´m educated within this healthy field, it does not mean that I live on only carrots and water! Health is so much more and when it  comes to my life philosophy regarding my food intakes – I feel it is way more important to eat foods with a balance and variety, rather than restricting myself from certain foods. There will definitely always be room for baking goods and tasty cakes, such as lakkrís toppar …!
