Many might be unaware but this dessert is named after the highest peak in France, the Mont Blac. It in a way also looks like that, with a mountain of meringue topped off by whipped cream and chestnut puree. It is best served in the afternoon with black tea, complementing it the best and cutting out the bitterness.
