If meringue makes you swoon and chocolate makes you melt, you are sure to love our Merveilleux recipe! Soft as a cloud, this dessert promises a light and indulgent tasting experience. The best part is that you won't need many ingredients to recreate this melt-in-your-mouth recipe: just 5. You probably already have them in your pantry. So, what are you waiting for? ;)

Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 3.5 oz chocolate
• 7 oz chocolate sprinkles

Materials

• Electric mixer
• Piping bag

Preparation

• Whisk the egg whites at medium speed, gradually adding half the sugar. Stop whisking when the mixture is firm and forms a "bird's beak."
• Pipe meringue circles onto a baking tray, then bake for 1 hour at 250°F (120°C).
  
• Whip the cold cream until stiff. Melt the chocolate. Add a tablespoon of whipped cream to loosen it. Then, fold the chocolate into the whipped cream using a whisk.
• Spread some chocolate mousse on a meringue circle, then place another circle on top. Coat this sandwich with chocolate mousse.
  
• Sprinkle the top and sides with chocolate sprinkles.
  Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
• And there you have it, your Merveilleux are ready!
  

Observations

Flavor: You are not limited to chocolate Merveilleux; all flavors are allowed!
Chocolate shavings: Can't find them? Grate a chocolate bar with a peeler, and you'll have homemade chocolate shavings. They can also be replaced with crushed hazelnuts or slivered almonds, etc...
Differences: Depending on the country and customs, Merveilleux are sometimes made with marshmallow and biscuit.
