Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Beat the egg whites on low speed until they become frothy.
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, make small mounds of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each mound to allow for expansion.
- Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until they are crisp and dry to the touch. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This will prevent cracking.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Gently fold about a third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to lighten the mixture. Then, fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully combined and smooth.
- Spoon or pipe a generous layer of chocolate mousse over the meringue pieces. Add another layer of meringue pieces and top with more chocolate mousse.
- For an added treat, garnish the top of each serving with a few whole or crushed Maltesers.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat. The dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Tips:
- Ensure that your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free from any grease before beating the egg whites to achieve maximum volume.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while beating to help create a stable meringue with a glossy finish.
- Melt the chocolate slowly over a double boiler to avoid burning and ensure a smooth, silky consistency.
- Use chilled heavy whipping cream to achieve the best results when making the chocolate mousse.
- Fold the melted chocolate gently into the whipped cream to maintain the light and airy texture of the mousse.
- Allow the meringues to cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar to help them dry out and achieve the perfect crisp texture.
Creating this exquisite dessert may appear daunting, but with patience and precision, anyone can master the art of making meringues with Maltesers and chocolate mousse. The end result is a dessert that not only looks stunning but also impresses with its harmonious layers of flavor and texture, making it well worth the effort.
