directions

  • In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate with the cream, stirring, remove the bowl from the pan, and let the mixture cool while making the meringue.
  • In another metal bowl combine the whites and the sugar, set the bowl over a saucepan of hot but not simmering water, and stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved.
  • With a hand-held electric mixer beat the meringue for 5 minutes, or until it holds glossy stiff peaks and is warm to the touch.
  • Remove the bowl from the pan and continue beating the meringue until it is cool.
  • Transfer 1 cup of the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a small decorative tip, fold the remaining meringue into the chocolate mixture gently but thoroughly, and divide the mousse among 6 small dishes.
  • The mousse may be made 4 hours in advance and kept covered at room temperature or it may be made 1 day in advance, kept covered and chilled, and allowed to come to room temperature.
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil pipe the remaining meringue into 2-inch strips and bake the strips in the middle of a preheated 300°F.
  • oven for 15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
  • Let the meringues cool on the baking sheet and peel them from the paper.
  • The meringues may be made 2 days in advance and kept in an airtight container.
  • Serve the meringues and fruit for dipping into the mousse fondues.

  1. I could not find the toblerone chocolate but I substituted with another brand (threw my paper away and forgot). What an easy and delicious dessert! I used an icing bag and tip and made the extra meringue, which is a must :-) I served with strawberries and bananas and we really enjoyed this! Presents beautifully! Perfect to accompany a romantic dinner!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
