To prepare this delicious dessert, we start with making the base. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the 8 tablespoons of oil, mixing vigorously so that the oil is well incorporated. Then add the 8 tablespoons of sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes creamy and homogeneous. It is important for the sugar to dissolve completely so that you get a fine and tasty base.
Once you have achieved a uniform texture, take a piece of dough the size of a medium apple. This will be used later to create a crispy crust at the end. Roll out the remaining dough into an even sheet, then carefully place it in the baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure the dough covers the bottom and edges of the tray well to prevent sticking.
After placing the dough in the tray, spread the apricot jam evenly over its surface. The jam will add a flavorful and moist layer that will contrast perfectly with the rest of the preparation.
Next, we move on to preparing the meringue. Beat the egg whites until foamy, gradually adding the 8 tablespoons of sugar. Continue beating until you achieve a firm and shiny meringue that forms stable peaks. This is the key to obtaining an airy and light texture. Once the meringue is ready, fold in the ground nuts carefully so that you don’t lose the air in the mixture.
Pour the meringue and nut mixture over the apricot jam, spreading it evenly. Then, grate the reserved dough over the meringue to create a delicious crust. Preheat the oven and bake the dessert at a moderate temperature, watching closely to prevent burning.
Once baked and it has taken on a beautiful golden color, let the dessert cool in the tray, then cut it into squares. Finally, dust it with powdered sugar for an elegant appearance and a touch of sweetness. Enjoy these delicious squares with apricot jam and nuts alongside a cup of tea or coffee. Bon appétit!
