Steps:
- Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Whip on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until whites are shiny and firm, about 3 minutes. Fold in ground almonds.
- Fill a pastry bag fitted with Ateco #864 star tip with meringue. Pipe out 2-inch-round cookies onto prepared baking sheets.
- Place in the oven, and bake until the meringues just start to color, about 15 minutes. Turn off the oven, and let the meringues dry for 4 hours or overnight. For a quicker method, reduce the heat after 15 minutes to 175 degrees. and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven, and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, scald cream in a small saucepan. Place chocolate in a medium mixing bowl, and pour hot cream over chocolate. Whisk until chocolate is smooth and melted. Let cool completely. Fill a pastry bag with chocolate filling, and pipe out onto half the cookies -- the bottom sandwich halves. Make sandwiches with remaining cookies, and serve. Sandwiches can be stored in airtight containers for 2 to 3 days.
