Mont blanc with espresso meringue
Coffee
It was on a trip through Europe a few years ago that I first encountered this yummy chestnut dessert, that's supposed to gets it's name from the highest peak in the Alps, Mont Blanc. This is one great dessert combining a chestnut cream purée with a meringue component and is one dessert that I try to make at least once before the Holidays and chestnut season are over. I got the basic recipe from our friend that first served it, but I've tweaked it since then by varying the flavors here and there. For the meringue, I added espresso and to the chestnut purée I added Créme de Cacao. Important to note, the meringue can be made ahead of time, freeing up the oven for other good stuff.
