Instructions
  1. Proteins should be at room temperature! Heat a frying pan in a water bath. Put a bowl in it. Mix it with whipped whites, sugar and a pinch of salt. Stirring, bring the mixture to 60 ° C or until the sugar is completely dissolved (if you grab the protein with your fingers, there should be no grains), therefore, if you are not sure about the size of the sugar, it is better to use sugar roughly ground into powder. Put the protein in a whipping bowl and whisk until stable peaks and thick shiny foam. Preheat the oven to 80*C with convection in the upper-lower mode.

  2. On baking paper or silicone mats, make a marking of 5 circles in advance for the levels of the Christmas tree. The diameter of the circles is approximately the same (the distance between the layers is about 3 cm with a side height of about 4 cm.) - 19, 16, 13, 9, 6 see how they put a spoon or a bag of meringue. Make depressions for the cream and the curd in the form of a nest, the sides can be sprinkled with mother-of-pearl or colored sugar. If desired, also sprinkle with coconut shavings Dry the meringue for 2 hours. Remove and cool. You can put it in a dry place and store it for a few days until you start assembling the Christmas tree.

Dry the meringue for 2 hours. Remove and cool. You can put it in a dry place and store it for a few days until you start assembling the Christmas tree.
  3. Prepare your favorite kurd. This time I took all my stocks of frozen puree of yellow tropical fruits, added more lemon juice. If the puree is frozen, melt it first and let it cool. Mix lemon juice, mashed potatoes, zest, sugar, eggs and yolks and bring to a very hot state in a water bath, stirring constantly. Cook until the cottage cheese thickens and lies down with a spoon. The consistency is about the same liquid as mashed potatoes. You can immediately add 1 tsp of starch to the cold mixture, then cooking will take place faster. Put the pieces of butter in the hot mixture and mix until smooth. Strain the cottage cheese through a fine sieve, the zest and small pieces of cooked protein will remain in it, cool and transfer to a clean, dry jar. Usually I cook a lot of kurd at once, it is stored without problems for up to 10 days.
