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.
