Monte Bianco

By Manuela | December 30, 2013 | InBlog, Desserts

I love this dessert, ‘Monte Bianco’. My mother used to do it for New Years eve and it always brings back beautiful memories. Having grown up in Switzerland, New Year was always very cold and the snow was thick outside. This dessert takes the name from one of our beautiful mountains in the alps.

• cover it with meringues

• whip 250 ml of pure cream with a little sugar
• remember the chestnut puree and the meringues are already sweet
