This is one of many different ways of making this type of marengue dessert. You can use other fruits like bananas or peaches and you can flavor the chocolate sauce by adding some liquor in stead of the candied ginger. In whatever way you choose to go I can promise that it will taste fuc... wonderful and you will be a star at your next dinner party.- 4 egg whites
pinch of salt
200g caster sugar - 2 handfuls of hazelnuts
- 1 large or 2 small tins of pears
- 200g dark chocolate
zest from ½ orange
2 pieces candied ginger (condenced ginger) - 2 dl double cream
1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped out
1tbsp icing sugar
Preheat oven to 150˚C. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and gradually add the caster sugar. Whisk untill it forms stiff peaks. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes. When ready, set aside to cool.
Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for 10 minutes.
Melt the chocolate over simmering water and add the orange zest and chopped ginger.
Whip the cream with the vanilla seeds and icing sugar.
Cut the pears into halves and scatter over the baked merangue. Spread the whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top. Roughly chopp the hazelnuts and scatter over the whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
