- Continue beating by altering the speed of the beater, first at a low speed, then medium, and finally to high until soft peaks are formed.
- Now turn the beater to low speed and add sugar gradually in 4 parts. After adding the entire sugar, speed up the beater for about 2 minutes until the mixture turns glossy. Add almond extract too.
- Add this mixture in the dry ingredients in small parts. While adding the final part, fold it very gently with a spatula.
- Now make 2 circles on the paper of 26 and 16 cm by using a graphite pencil and turn it over. Set aside.
- Using a dressing bag and a round attachment, apply the mixture in a circle, making a wreath of Dacquoise. Make 6 small portions.
- Bake this for 1 hour in a preheated oven at 300F, 150 C. After the baking is done, let it cool completely for as long as possible at room temperature.
For mousse
- Whip the whipped cream.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the whipped cream and mix.
- Add the vanilla extract and combine with the cream.
