Ingredients

Servings

• 200 gram Meringue
• 200 gram Dark chocolate
• 2 cup Whipping cream
• 2 tablespoon Kirsch liqueur
• 1 cup Sugar
• 6 unit Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming two 8-inch circles. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
4. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely inside.
5. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pan of simmering water. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
6. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted chocolate and kirsch liqueur.
7. Place one meringue circle on a serving plate. Spread half of the chocolate cream mixture evenly over the meringue. Top with the second meringue circle and spread the remaining chocolate cream mixture on top.
8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Serve chilled and enjoy!
