How to prepare Mascarpone cup with chocolate and meringues
To prepare the mascarpone cup with chocolate and meringues, start by melting the chocolate in a double boiler 1 and add the butter 2. Once the chocolate and butter are melted, gradually add the cream, heated for a few seconds in the microwave or in a saucepan 3, and stir with a spatula to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Cover the chocolate cream with plastic wrap and let it rest.
In the meantime, in a stand mixer or with an electric beater, beat the egg yolks with the sugar 4 until you get a light and frothy mixture. At this point, add the mascarpone 5, mix again, and finally add the marsala 6.
At this point, you will have the chocolate sauce and the mascarpone cream 7: add a third of the mascarpone cream to the chocolate sauce 8 and mix well to obtain the mascarpone chocolate cream 9.
Now you can assemble the mascarpone cup: crumble a couple of meringues (if you prefer, you can prepare them yourself by following the procedure on our site: French meringue (basic dough)) at the bottom of the glass 10, add a couple of teaspoons of mascarpone chocolate cream, alternating with a couple of teaspoons of the white mascarpone cream (11-12). Decorate with more meringue pieces and dark chocolate shavings: the delicious mascarpone cup with chocolate and meringues is ready to be devoured!
