Method
step 1
Break up and melt the chocolate, either in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water or for 2-3 mins in a microwave. Stir until smooth, then cool. Use 6 egg whites for two batches of merinuge. The leftover whites freeze well; simply thaw before whisking. Fold the cooled chocolate into the meringue, followed by the pâté à bombe and cassis or brandy.
step 2
Whip the cream into soft peaks and fold in with most of the pistachios. Pipe or spoon into 6 elegant glasses, sprinkle with the remaining pistachios and grated chocolate, then chill.
