6. In another bowl, beat whites while adding sugar in increments to medium peaks.
7. Fold whites to yolk mixture gradually.
8. Pour onto pan and spread evenly.

10. Bake at 330F for 10 minutes. Lower to 300F and continue to bake for 5 minutes.
11. Slide to rack to cool. Place a clean parchment paper over to prevent over drying.

Coffee kahlua cream:
25g powdered sugar
5g instant coffee powder
100g whipped cream
1 tsp kahlua

I love coffee flavored desserts! The aroma and bitterness of coffee complement and balance well with sweets.

The texture, flavor and sweetness are on point for this one. I added walnuts in the cream prior to rolling, and they added such a lovely crunchy texture and a nutty roasted flavor. 

This is definitely a winning flavor combo - coffee, kahlua and walnuts!
