"This is from my mother's hand written cookbook. Mum made them for our birthday parties and the children loved them. My daughter made these when she was younger, they are fiddly but they look so gorgeous when made."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Line two baking sheets with grease proof paper. Make a stiff meringue in the usual way with the egg whites, cream of tartar and the sugar.

Step 2

Use a piping bag and a plain 1cm nozzle pipe to make 24 rounds of meringue onto the baking paper sheets for the 'caps' of the mushrooms, and 24 oblong's approximately 4cm long for the 'stems' of the mushrooms.

Step 3

Bake at 110c for approximately 1 hour, turn off oven and leave the meringues to cool.

Step 4

Melt the chocolate and copha together in a bowl over hot water. Carefully make a hole in the base of each mushroom cap for the stem.

Step 5

Spoon a little chocolate into each cap and place the stem into position. Leave on a cooling tray until the chocolate has hardened.

Step 6

Just before serving, sift a little cocoa over the mushrooms to give them an earthy look.
