I must confess, at first I wanted to skip this challenge. Too complicated and what the heck should I do with a recipe that uses 15 eggs!!! Neither we are The Waltons nor do I run a restaurant! Fortunately Audax adapted the recipe into more reasonably-sized portions.
I just made the mandatory items, which were the marquise and the meringue.
I have to admit it was easier to make than it thought. I don’t like Tequila, so I use Hazelnut liqueur instead and as I don’t have a blowtorch, I used the grill function of the Steamwave for the torched meringue.
I love the marquise, it’s a kind of frozen chocolate mousse. The meringue however doesn’t meet my taste. It was too chewy and also a little bit runny. Perhaps because I used the grill and not a blowtorch?
For the recipe please head over to the Daring Kitchen Headquarter. There you will also find all the Marquise on Meringue my fellow Daring Bakers made.
The May 2011 Daring Bakers‘ challenge was hosted by Emma of CookCraftGrow and Jenny of Purple House Dirt. They chose to challenge everyone to make a Chocolate Marquise. The inspiration for this recipe comes from a dessert they prepared at a restaurant in Seattle.

Das sieht aber lecker aus, auch wenn die Meringue etwas dunkel geworden ist.
Hast du eigentlich ein gutes Rezept für eine Meringue? So gut wie die aus Kemmeriboden-Bad werden meine leider nie :-(

REPLY:
Die Meringues müssen bei diesem Dessert dunkel sein, das siehst du beim Originalrezept. Es sind auch keine „richtigen“ Meringues. Das perfekte Meringue-Rezept habe ich leider auch noch nicht gefunden, aber ich glaube Cascabel.
I flavored mine with hazelnuts too! Great job on the challenge!
What a rich and deliciously looking marquise! Great job!
Your meringues are gorgeous…love their shape! We loved the marquise, too…I had never heard of this dessert before and was pleasantly surprised!
Hazelnut flavored marquise must have been delicious! Great job on the challenge!
What a fantastic job on the challenge! I bet it was delicious with the addition of the hazelnut liqueur. Too bad you didn’t like the meringue! I couldn’t get enough of mine. :D
I also used a touch of hazelnut in mine as well. There is something so comforting about that combination. Great job. Best, Sandie
