1quantity meringue
1portion pâté à bombe
1 tbsp cassis or brandy
142ml pot double cream

Steps:

  • Break up and melt the chocolate, either in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water or for 2-3 mins in a microwave. Stir until smooth, then cool. Use 6 egg whites for two batches of merinuge. The leftover whites freeze well; simply thaw before whisking.
