What is a Merveilleux meringue?
They’re known for the Merveilleux, which is this meringue with cream inside and topped with chocolate / other flavors you can choose from. I got the hazelnut Merveilleux. You bite in and it’s quite soft so be careful of the crumbles!
What size Merveilleux should I Choose?
The size of the Merveilleux is just perfect: if larger the sweetness would be overwhelming, if smaller the layered texture of the meringue and the mousse will be lost.
What are Merveilleux and Magnifique cookies?
They were essentially two meringue cookies covered with cream and topped with a generous amount of toppings — for the Merveilleux, it was dark chocolate shavings, and for the Magnifique, it was chopped hazelnut and pralines. The meringue is so light and crisp — it felt like I was biting into a cloud.
