Professional Baker Teaches You How To Make MONT BLANC TORTE!

You have reached the end of your nut cake journey! Chef Anna Olson is here to guide you through the delicious steps you'll need to master in order to recreate this incredible Mont Blanc Torte! Check out the recipe below and don't forget to let us know how it turned out in the comments below!

Ingredients

Meringue Layers

4 egg whites, room temperature
¼ tsp cream of tartar
¾ cup granulated sugar

Chestnut Cream

1 tin (212 mL) sweetened chestnut purée
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp icing sugar, sifted
1 cup whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
white chocoloate shavings, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250 F. Trace 3 circles onto parchment paper, one 7-inch, one 6-inch and one 5-inch. Place the parchment paper face-down onto baking trays.

2. For the meringue layers, whip the egg whites on low speed and slowly add in the sugar, gradually increasing the speed to high and whipping until they hold a stiff peak when the beaters are lifted. Scrape the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip and pipe a spiral of meringue to fill each of the traced circles. Bake the meringues for about 90 minutes, until dry (crack the oven door if the meringues begin to colour at all) and let them cool on the parchment paper.

3. For the chestnut cream, beat the chestnut puree and ½ cup of the icing sugar to smooth. Switch to a whisk and fold in the mascarpone, half of the whipped cream and the vanilla until smooth.

4. To assemble, place the 7-inch meringue disc onto a platter. Pipe or spread a thick layer of the chestnut cream on it and top it with the 6-inch meringue. Pipe a layer of chestnut cream and top it with the 5-inch meringue. Pipe on the remaining chestnut cream. To finish the torte, fold in the remaining 2 Tbsp of icing sugar into the remaining whipped cream. Spread this on top of the torte and chill until ready to serve.

Hello
Thanks for the recipe.
I would like to ask if the cream weeps and how long does the Mont blanc last befor it becomes soggy.
Thank you

Loved it. It's superb. I like all your tutorials. Instead of Chestnut puree can we add some other puree as I couldn't find it. What other substitute puree is good to go with it please say. I want to make it soon.😊

Where does one buy chestnut purée from because i can’t find any here in Toronto. 🤔☹️ I was totally looking forward to making this for a birthday tomorrow.

It's about 12:29 am but I am watching this

[ginacardarelli]

what the difference in using icing sugar or regular sugar when making meringue. Was always told that granulated sugar made meringue weep.

I love your video but that cake just looks sad 😂

There are truly few sounds as aesthetically displeasing as a north american saying the word "tartar"... 🤢
