The cream cheese icing is the perfect amount of tangy sweetness against the delicate cocoa shell. I’ve already ordered a second batch.

The shells have that perfect crisp-then-chew texture, and the tiger nut flour gives them a subtle nuttiness that pairs beautifully with the cream cheese icing. I ordered these for a small gathering and they looked stunning on the plate, but honestly I ate most of them myself before anyone arrived.

I was skeptical about the cream cheese icing, but it’s actually the perfect balance of tangy and sweet against the delicate meringue shell. The cocoa powder in the shell gives it a subtle richness that surprised me.
