A classic French marjolaine is made of nut meringues layered with chocolate butter-cream. In this frozen version, I layer ice cream made with Ibarra chocolate and rectangles of almond meringue. This Mexican chocolate comes in disks and is made of sugar, cocoa nibs, cinnamon, and ground almonds. Normally used for making hot chocolate, it has a less chocolaty flavor than American or European hot chocolate and makes a delicious ice cream.
