*Mont Blanc*
Serves 4

This has to be one of the easiest and the tastiest desserts around.  Your guests will think you have slaved all day.

4 glasses with stems
8 to 12 small plain meringues
250ml of double cream, chilled
2 TBs icing sugar
400g sweet vanilla flavoured chestnut puree
chocolate sprinkles (optional)

Crumble the meringues and divide them equally amongst the stemmed glasses.  Put the chilled double cream into a large bowl and whip with an eletric whisk until it forms soft peaks, but is not stiff.  (if perchance you have whipped it a bit much, gently stir some unwhipped cream into it to loosen it up a bit.  It works a charm)  Fold in the icing sugar.  Cover the layer of meringue in the glasses with chestnut puree and then cover that with the sweetened whipped cream.  Sprinkle with sprinkles if desired.
