Sweet Coffins
5 ingredients

Another Czech recipe from my mother's family. They are called "coffins" because of the tin used to make them, but they can be made in pretty much any shaped mould. The ingredients are very simple: egg yolk and icing sugar, and in this respect they are similar to meringues in texture, though denser and more "eggy" in flavour. They form a hollow in the centre - another reason for the name, and they may be filled with whipped cream or dark chocolate mousse (nothing too sweet as they are very sweet to begin with).
