Line a 450g loaf tin with cling film leaving enough overhang to cover the top.

Whip 300ml of double cream until thick but soft.

Fold finely chopped 30g chocolate and 1 tablespoon of liqueur into the cream.

Crumb the meringue nests and fold them into the mixture.

Pack mixture into the tin, seal with cling film, and freeze for 8 hours or overnight.

Heat 250ml cream and 125g chocolate in a pan over gentle heat until almost melted.

Remove from heat, add 2 tablespoons of liqueur, and whisk until smooth.

Slice the frozen cake with a hot knife and serve with sauce and raspberries.
