Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pecan pieces
- 1 cup maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour)
- 4 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cup 35% cream
- 3 tablespoons maple sugar
Method
- Preheat oven to 175 °C (350 °F).
- Place pecans on a cookie sheet and heat in oven until browned. Set aside.
- Pour the maple syrup into a saucepan and bring to a boil on low heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Beat egg whites until fluffy. When they form soft peaks, incorporate the boiling syrup in small threads. Continue beating for 10 minutes to cool down the preparation.
- Beat cream and delicately fold in the egg whites. Add the pecans.
- Pour into a terrine, a greased bread mold or 6 individual ramekins. Leave in the freezer for at least 8 hours.
- When ready to serve, turn out by briefly dipping the molds in warm water.
- Serve immediately with orange slices, mango pieces or berries.
* You can replace the pecans with other nuts or candied fruits.
