Recipe's preparation

Meringue

1. Preheat oven to 120C. Line three 35x40cm baking trays with baking paper. Trace a 20cm circle on each sheet, turn paper over and set aside.
2. Place a bowl onto mixing bowl lid, weigh sugar into it and set aside.
3. Insert butterfly whisk. Place egg whites into mixing bowl and whip 3 min/speed 3.5, without measuring cup.
4. Mix 5 min/speed 3, slowly adding half of weighed sugar through hole in mixing bowl, a spoonful at a time until well combined.
5. Add remaining sugar and whip 20sec/speec 3. Remove butterfly whisk. Gently fold meringue to incorporate any sugar.
6. Spoon equal amounts of meringue evenly to fill circles. Bake for 1 hour, then set aside to cool. Clean and dry mixing bowl and butterfly whisk.

Chocolate Cream
7. Place chocolate into mixing bowl and grate 6 sec/speed 9.
8. Add 50g water and melt 2 mins/80C/speed 1.5. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool. Clean and dry mixing bowl.
9. Insert butterfly whisk. Place cream into mixing bowl and whip until slightly thickened/speed 3, watching carefully through hole in mixing bowl lid to avoid over whipping. Remove butterfly whisk.
10. Add cream to cooled chocolate and gently fold 4-6 times, creating a marbled effect, taking care to avoid overmixing.

Assembly
11. Place a meringue disk on a serving plate and top with one-third of the chocolate cream. Continue layering with remaining meringue discs and chocolate cream, finishing with a chocolate cream layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set. Dust with cocoa and serve with fresh cherries.

PREP AHEAD
make meringue discs up to 1 week ahead and store in an airtight container. Assemble on the day of serving.

TIP
The gateau can be assembled and frozen, then served as a frozen dessert. Simply garnish as per recipe when ready to serve.

Tip

This dessert was published in the Thermomix Everyday Magazine. I've copied it into my recipes so I can import to Cookiedo and reduce portions (my husband's birthday cake).

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
