Spread the dough into the hollows. Bake in a hot oven for about 12 minutes. Take out, let cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove from the tin and let it cool down. Wash and stone the cherries.
For the meringue foam, beat the egg whites in a hot water bath with the whisk of the mixer until stiff, adding 1 pinch of salt and 150 g of sugar. Keep beating until sic
Immediately pour the egg whites into a piping bag with a large perforated spout. Place 1 cherry on 1 chocolate cake and spray a high layer of beaten egg whites onto each. Chill for about 15 minutes.
In the meantime, break 100 g of chocolate into pieces for the icing. Heat 125 g cream in a saucepan and remove from the heat. Melt the chocolate in it while stirring. Let it cool down for about 5 minutes, then drizzle over the foam with a tablespoon.
