Nigella's Mont Blanc - recipe please

[tassis]

Saw this on Nigella last night - just want to confirm recipe

chocolate
sweet chestnut puree
cream with crushed meringues in (anything else at this point?)
more crushed meringues on the top

Anything I've missed?

Anyone made it? Is it nice?

sounds about right - make sure you get the sweetened chestnut puree tho' (and shop-bought but quality meringues LOL)

voila

Never made it. I pass on sweet things.

ps pinched the link from JackieNo on thread earlier today

oh I'd recommend M+S meringues, they are not the ones that shatter into dust, they are perfect for that recipe.

It looked very rich, I like sweet things but I think even I would have got sick eating that.

thanks all

have bought texco finest meringues

I know what you mean katie, but too late now as I've bought all the ingredients!

LOl at typo - Texaco or Tesco????

tesco, sorry

was BFing at same time

Well let us know how it turns out and if it is yum or sickly.

will do, it's for Saturday night

please let us know what they are like. My ds saw it and now keeps asking me to make it - shall I give in or divert?

Well I made it last night and we loved it. Yes, it's very sweet but really gorgeous and dead simple.

Just made a couple more with the leftovers for ds (3.5) and I. He loved it too!

We'll definately do it again.
