The merveilleux is one of those pastries that catch the eye in a display: two light and crispy meringues, joined by silky chocolate whipped cream, all rolled in a shower of melting chocolate shavings. Born in northern France and Belgium, it plays entirely on the contrast between the crunch of the meringue and the softness of the cream.
Good news: despite its chef-like appearance, it requires no difficult techniques, just a bit of patience for drying the meringues. We guide you step by step, from French meringue to shavings, for merveilleux worthy of a pastry shop, alcohol-free and loved by all.
