Meringue and chocolate sphere

Recipe: Meringue and chocolate sphere

Summary: Meringue and chocolate sphere, here is a great idea to present a dessert, the meringue sphere will allow you to have a crunchy side for your dessert. I made an Italian meringue to make my shells, after having tested the French meringue and the Swiss meringue, a few days before finding the method, but the result is really nice. I also really liked the meringue and chocolate hemispheres filled with praline hazelnuts, just a little crunchy. And what about this dark chocolate ganache that melted on the tongue. No frankly here is a dessert with a lot of work, but everything can be prepared a day or even two days in advance. You can use silicone molds, but beware the release is more fragile, if you do not have a polycarbonate mold. Moreover they are not very expensive less than 20 € for 6 half spheres. 2015 souvenir recipe
