Mont Blancs is a traditional French recipe for a classic chilled, layered dessert of chopped chocolate topped with cream, chestnut puree and crumbled meringue nests that make an excellent end to a New Year party meal. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic French version of: Mont Blancs.
Chop the chocolate in a blender until reduced to the size of rice grains. Remove from the food processor and divide equally between the bases of eight wine glasses.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form then crumble 1 1/2 of the meringue nests into this and mix thoroughly to combine. Spread the chestnut puróe on top of the chocolate in the glasses then spoon the cream and meringue on top of this.
Crumble the remaining meringue nest and scatter the pieces over the top of the cream. Serve immediately (this dish is best made immediately before serving, as this retains the crunchiness of the meringue).
