Since I got so excited doing Silvanas, why not do the Sambos too? The recipe is about the same as the Silvanas but I did tweak it a little and added more photos as a guide to everyone who wanted to try this it. I wanted it to look like the Sambos from Brownies Unlimited but the meringue kept getting flat once I put them on the parchment paper. It could be because I did not use the flour which I saw on another recipe but I want the taste already so I just kept going. I found that the round Sambos look more appealing than the oval, so for my future baking of these goodies I'll stay with the round ones. I have the photos of the ingredients, it is up to your preference on what brand you want to use. You can also see from the photo guide that I used the stand mixer, way easier and faster to do the meringue but again the handheld mixer worked okay too.
Ingredients: 6 large egg white 1 tsp cream of tartar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 cup cashews 1 cup salted butter 1 cup sifted confectioner's sugar 1/2 cup milk chocolate cake crumbs |
How to make the meringue
1. Finely ground cashews in the food processor or your coffee grinder. Set aside. 2. Beat eggwhites and cream of tartar in the mixer. |
3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, and beat till it forms a stiff peak. |
4. Fold in the ground cashews in the meringue. |
Until all the ground cashews were mix with the meringue. |
5. Transfer the meringue into piping bag. You can pipe it into oval shape in a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. |
How to make the Buttercream
1. Beat the softened butter until it is creamy. |
2. Add the confectioner's sugar gradually. |
3. Then add the milk till fully incorporated. Set aside. |
Now, for the assembly of your Sambos
1. Spread the buttercream on 2 meringue wafers making sure the flat sides are facing out. Then, cover all sides with buttercream. |
2. Roll the wafer on chocolate cake crumbs on one side |
3. Then roll it on the other side too. |
4. Until it's fully covered with chocolate cake crumbs. |
5. Refrigerate before serving. |
Hope you'll find this photo guide useful, enjoy Silvanas and Sambos my style with your favorite drink! For me, it's my cup of coffee.
