How to Make Chocolate Coffee Meringue Roulade
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Line a 23cm x 33cm lipped swiss roll tin with baking paper, lightly oiled.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg whites with an electric mixer until thick and glossy. Gradually whisk in sugar on low speed, then fold in flour, ground almonds, and coffee.
- Pour meringue into prepared tin, spreading evenly. Scatter flaked almonds on top and bake for 8 minutes, then reduce temperature and bake for 20-25 minutes until firm.
- Carefully lift meringue from tin using baking paper, cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto another piece of baking paper to cool completely.
- Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, then stir in butter and cool for 15 minutes.
- Gradually add double cream to the chocolate mix, beating with a whisk. Sprinkle in sea salt and spread over the cooled meringue. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Combine double cream, icing sugar, and espresso coffee powder in a bowl, whisking until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whisk.
- Spread whipped cream over chocolate layer, roll tightly from one edge using baking paper. Wrap securely and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Transfer roulade to a plate, drizzle with melted chocolate, and slice to serve.
