To Plate:

Steps:
- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler.
- Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- In a bain-marie, whisk the eggs, sugar, and egg yolks until thickened.

For the French Meringue:
- Preheat your oven to 176°F (80°C).
- Whisk the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Lightly fold in the caster sugar into the whipped egg whites.
- Spread the meringue onto a baking tray using a piping bag, creating pointed tops.
- Bake for 90 minutes (1 ½ hours).
- Line a large pot with hay, place the meringues on a tray above it, cover with foil, and let sit on the stove for at least 2 hours. The hay will smolder and infuse the meringues with a wonderful smoky flavor.
