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
Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Gently fold in the vanilla extract until just combined.
Step 4
Heat the milk in a wide, shallow saucepan over medium-low heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
To serve, pour a generous amount of chocolate sauce into shallow bowls. Gently place the poached meringue quenelles on top of the sauce.
Step 9
Dust with powdered sugar for garnish and serve immediately. Enjoy!
