What is a dacquoise?
Incase you don't know what a dacquoise is, we will tell you. Dacquoise is a dessert made from layers of meringue containing ground nuts, with fillings such as cream, buttercream, or ganache between. Thanks you very much Google. If you never heard of dacquoise you should really try to make them because they are fabulous.
What do they taste like?
These little treats are based on meringue. These are kind of a cross between a meringue cookie and a pavlova but the difference is that it has a filling in between and for these, we are filling them with mocha chocolate filling, which is unbelievably amazing. These can be made in larger sizes, such as dacquoise cakes.
