This typically takes 3-4 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Whisk in the cocoa powder and the coffee powder for a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Spoon the meringue mixture into the piping bag.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Pipe circles of meringue for the mushroom caps: some can be 1cm or so in diameter, others can be larger. Try to keep these flat and without little peaks in the middle: but you can use a wet finger to flatten off if needed.<\/p>\n<p>(6) Pipe vertical columns for the mushroom stalks, forming a rough cone shape.
