About Merveilleux
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
KitchenAid’s selected Merveilleux sandwiches thick mascarpone cream between a meringue disc and a meringue dome. More cream covers the outside before chocolate shavings and a cherry finish each assembled cake.
Whites separated from whole eggs are whisked until foamy, then granulated sugar is added gradually until very firm peaks form. Vanilla flavouring and the first portion of sifted icing sugar are incorporated gently.
The meringue is piped into disc bases and dome-shaped tops. They bake slowly at low heat, then remain in the closed oven to cool before the door is opened.
Cream is whipped with the remaining icing sugar and mascarpone until thicker than ordinary whipped cream. A little cream covers a base before the dome is set on top, and further cream coats the outside.
Chocolate shavings are sprinkled over the cream-covered cake, and a cherry sits on top. The disc-and-dome construction encloses the cream while its exterior coating carries the chocolate decoration.
