Five simple ingredients is all it takes to make this utterly gorgeous dessert. It’s neither too sweet nor too rich, with a deeply chocolatey mousse-like centre, beneath a thin crackly layer of cocoa-dusted meringue. What’s not to love?

I find this is a perfect do-ahead dessert as I can make it a few hours ahead or even the night before. It becomes more dense as time goes by, so any leftovers can still be enjoyed a couple of days later.
