Long time ago
I saw in a magazine the picture of this French dessert Concorde.

CONCORDE DESSERT
Concorde is a delightful dessert which is made of cocoa meringue
and chocolate mousse lanes.
I can give you the meringue recipe ; the mousse
au chocolat recipe is already available on the site.
Here is the recipe for Concorde Meringue :
Ingredients : 4 egg whites / 150 gr [5 oz] granulated sugar / 100
gr [3.5 oz] icing sugar / 50 gr [2 oz] bitter cocoa.
- Sift the cocao powder and the icing sugar together.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until thick and frothy.
Gently add the sugar while whisking then the cocoa mixture.
- Preheat oven at 180°C / 350°F ; butter and flour the oven baking
sheet.
- Put the mixture in a piping bag then form 3 circles of the same
size with the socket. Bake in oven for 1 hour, don't let it get
brown (cover with aluminum if necessary).
- Meanwhile prepare the mousse au chocolat.
- When the meringue is ready, take it out from oven and let it cool
down ;
meanwhile keep the mousse refrigerated.
- When ready display the lanes : bottom lane of meringue / spread
with chocolate mousse / cover with a meringue disk / spread with
chocolate mousse/ cover with meringue disk / spread with chocolate
mousse.
- Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving ; at this moment,
top with cocoa powder (put 2 or 3 teaspoons in a strainer and gently
beat it above the mousse to let cocoa get down little by little...).
