Chocolate and Cherry Meringue Stack

There are a few times when you decide to prepare a meal or course where you may end up with a leftover ingredient. Deciding what to do with that ingredient, without wasting it, sometimes becomes a bigger choice than the original planning of a meal.

Eggs! Where a recipe only requires egg yolks or egg whites, you no doubt will need to make a decision as to what to do with whichever is the leftover without wasting them. There are several choices you can make for either but your decision will be based on whether you are actually going to indulged in this "by-product" and whether you do need it. 

For a meal next weekend we have decided, for dessert, to make a Hazelnut (Nutella) with Ferrero Rocher Ice Cream to accompany a Chocolate Souffle. Only needing the yolks of 5 eggs for the ice cream, I had the whites of 5 eggs at my mercy. Fortunately for me, I've had a dessert recipe that required only the whites of 5 eggs on my have to do list for the past month or so.

Egg whites used to make 4 meringue discs

Berry Ripple Cream, Mixed Berry Coulis,

 Melted Chocolate

Note: Went overboard with the chocolate. No such thing I hear most of you say. There are cherries in there somewhere. As cherries are out of season at the moment, I had to settle for canned cherries.
