Yield Makes 25 servings, one meringue sandwich each.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sliced almonds, toasted, divided
4 egg whites
1 cup superfine sugar
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg. (3 oz.) crystallized ginger, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 Tbsp. honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Trace 50 (2-inch) circles on large sheets of parchment paper; place on baking sheets. Set aside. Place 3/4 cup of the almonds in food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Set aside. Beat egg whites with electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Add sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until sugar is well blended and dissolved after each addition. Gently stir in finely chopped almonds.
  • Spoon 1 Tbsp. egg white mixture onto each parchment circle; lightly spread to edge of circle. Top each with 3 or 4 of the remaining sliced almonds. Bake 25 to 30 min. or until meringues are golden brown. (Meringues should lift easily off the paper and sound hollow when tapped.) Cool completely.
  • Mix cream cheese, ginger and honey until well blended. Spread about 2 tsp. of the cream cheese mixture onto each of 25 meringues just before serving; top each with a second meringue to make sandwich.
