Whisk over medium heat for 2\u20133 minutes; chill. Whisk in the cr\u00E8me fra\u00EEche and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Set aside.  Garnish Ingredients \u2022 2 oz. chocolate block (55\u201370 percent cacao fat) \u2022 Powdered sugar  Directions Shave chocolate by scraping the block with the blade of a chef&amp;#039;s knife held at a 45\u00B0angle. Then place powdered sugar into a fine mesh sieve and lightly dust the shavings. Set aside.  To assemble the Mont Blancs, place a single meringue at the center of each dessert plate. Pipe small dots of chestnut cream on top of the meringues\u2014first around the edge, then filling in to the center. Pipe chestnut paste on top of the chestnut cream using a circular motion and moving upward to make a peak. Arrange the powdered chocolate shavings on top and put a few spoonfuls of the chocolate sauce around the meringues. Serves 5. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
