Mix the icing sugar and powdered almonds. Whisk the egg whites in the mixer bowl with a whisk; add one-third of the caster sugar and whisk, add another third and repeat, then add the remaining sugar; whisk again until you obtain a soft meringue. By hand, add the icing sugar/powdered almond mixture to the meringue, gently lifting the preparation with a spatula, and not by whipping. Use immediately.

Place rings 8, 17, 21 and 28 cm in Ø and 2 cm high, buttered and lined with a 2 cm high strip of silicone paper, on a baking sheet covered with baking parchment. Using a piping bag fitted with a plain no. 10 nozzle for the dessert size and no. 8 nozzle for the individual desserts; fill the bottom of the rings with dacquoise biscuit, starting from the centre and forming a spiral. Pipe balls of dacquoise biscuit side by side all around the edge. Sprinkle lightly with icing sugar twice, at 15 minutes intervals, to get a “pearl” effect. Sprinkle with almond sticks.

Bake the dacquoise biscuit in a fan-assisted oven at 170°C for 25 to 35 minutes depending on the size, leaving the steam open to prevent the dacquoise from swelling and falling back immediately due to the concentrated steam in the oven. When cooked, it remains resistant – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Allow to cool before removing from the rings and storing on a plate covered with cling film in the freezer.

Wash and rinse the rice several times to remove as much starch as possible
