Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract until just combined.
Heat the milk in a wide, shallow saucepan over medium-low heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
Using two large spoons, form oval-shaped meringue quenelles by scooping and shaping the beaten egg whites. Gently lower each quenelle into the steaming milk.
Poach the meringue quenelles for 1–2 minutes on each side, turning carefully. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
For the chocolate sauce, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
To serve, pour a generous amount of chocolate sauce into shallow bowls. Gently place the poached meringue quenelles on top of the sauce.
Dust with powdered sugar for garnish and serve immediately. Enjoy!
