This nut meringue cake with white chocolate cream combines a meringue layer made with ground hazelnuts and walnuts with a smooth egg yolk cream. The cream is made by whisking egg yolks and sugar over simmering water, melting white chocolate into the mixture, then letting it cool before adding butter and whipped cream. The baked meringue is cut into two pieces and layered with the cream and optional fruit. The top is sprinkled with nuts and decorated with whipped cream and chocolate cookies.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Beat the egg whites with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar until foamy. Gradually fold in the ground hazelnuts and walnuts. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C (350°F) until golden.
Whisk the egg yolks with the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar over simmering water until foamy. Add the white chocolate, broken into pieces, and stir until melted. Remove the thickened cream from the heat and let cool, then incorporate the butter and whipped cream.
Cut the baked meringue into 2 pieces. Spread half the cream over one piece, cover with the second piece, and spread with the remaining cream. Add assorted fruit if desired, then sprinkle with the ground walnuts and hazelnuts. Decorate the top with whipped cream and chocolate cookies.
Tip: Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk cream with a spatula to keep it airy. Choose firm fruit for the filling and pat it dry, as its juice would thin the white chocolate cream.
