Chocolate mousse with meringue
This classic chocolate mousse dessert is speckled with crisp meringue for a satisfying crunch.
1. Break the chocolate into pieces in a saucepan and add 4 tablespoons of water. Melt over a low heat and stir until you obtain a smooth paste. Pour it in a bowl.
2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and incorporate the yolks into the melted chocolate and mix well. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When it is firm, fold gently into the chocolate mixture.
3. Break the meringue into small pieces. Incorporate half into the mousse and mix. Divide the mousse into 6 bowls. Chill for 3 hours in the fridge. Sprinkle the rest of the meringue before serving.
Our cooking tip: In this recipe, you can replace meringues with pieces of Toblerone or crumbs of speculoos cookies.
