Want to impress your guests?
Make Vacherin.
What? What is it?
Vacherin?
No not the cheese, the delicious French dessert!
Vacherin is composed of layers of meringue, chocolate, assortment of berries, and cream.
Sometimes made with vanilla ice cream and nuts.
This two to three-tiered delicious dessert makes a show stopping centerpiece.
This is something I whip up on last minutes dinner invites.
Impressive yet simple!
On my last get together with family,
I just arrange everything on the table and let everyone assemble their own Vacherin.
It's a fun dessert activity for everyone.
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1 oz semisweet chocolate, grated
Filling:
1 tsp cornstarch
1 oz semisweet chocolate, grated
Filling:
6 oz semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 pure vanilla extract
2 cups strawberries or mixed berries of choice
2 cups strawberries or mixed berries of choice
Directions:
FILLING:
- Place the broken chocolate pieces in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water.
- Stir until melted.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream.
ASSEMBLY:
- Spread most of the melted over 2 meringue layers, reserving a little bit for garnish. Let set.
- Place 1 chocolate-coated meringue on a plate and top with whipped cream and berries.
- Gently place the second chocolate-coated meringue on top and spread with whipped cream, top with more berries.
- Place the last meringue on the top, decorate with remaining whipped cream and berries.
- Drizzle with the remaining melted chocolate over the top (optional) and serve.
Note:
- The third tier is optional. You can only do 2 layers if you please, just like what my guests and I did.
