Method

Whisk the whites until stiff peaks form using an electric hand whisk.

Separate the egg whites into a clean glass or metal bowl.

Spread the cooled ganache and optional whipped cream onto the meringues to sandwich them together.

Preheat the oven to 140°C and line two flat baking sheets with parchment.

Heat the cream in a pan to just below boiling and stir in the chocolate until smooth.

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces using a sharp knife.

Bake for sixty minutes until crisp and then leave to cool in the oven.

Scoop sixteen ball-shaped meringues onto the baking sheets using dessertspoons.

Add sugar one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the mixture is thick and glossy.
