In a bowl add your mascarpone with your double or heavy cream and then whisk everything together until it's nice and smooth. Then sift your cocoa powder and mix everything together with a spoon until you get nice creamy delicious chocolate filling. It looks like that. Take each chocolate meringue and top it up with a bit of that chocolate ganache mixture. I'm using a teaspoon of that you can either top it up with your other half of your chocolate ganache and leave it just like that or if you want something else a little bit of surprise inside you can then add a fresh strawberry in the middle and make sure you thin you slice them really thinly and top it up like that and they're so so delicious guys I really hope you try these they're so romantic so perfect for any occasion so if you do make them tag me in pictures and on my social media and leave a comment down below subscribe and make sure to check out all my other videos
