How I make it

Crumb base

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. In a bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs, sugar and butter until even.

3. Press a spoonful of the mixture firmly into each cup of a cupcake pan.

4. Bake for 5 minutes, then cool for 5-10 minutes.

Cake

1. Mix all the cake ingredients together.

2. Pour the batter over the bases, filling each cup two-thirds full.

3. Return to the oven for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out dry. Let cool.

Glaze

1. Meanwhile, stir the glaze ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Let cool.

Meringue

1. In a bowl over a water bath, warm the egg whites and sugar, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until warm.

2. Transfer to a mixer and whip for 5-8 minutes, until stiff and glossy.

Assembling

1. Coat each cupcake with a layer of chocolate glaze.

2. Put the meringue in a piping bag and pipe a cloud on each cupcake.

3. Toast the top of the meringue with a kitchen torch.
