Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Line two or three baking sheets with baking parchment. Whisk the egg whites until stiff; then gradually whisk in the sugar until the mixture is thick and glossy. Fold in the chopped mint sticks, and then place teaspoons of the mixture on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about one hour, or until they are crisp. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool before handling. Make the filling by whipping the cream until it stands in soft peaks, then stir in the creme de menthe or mint essence. Mix a little more then use the cream to make a sandwich, putting the meringues together in pairs just before serving.
