Disks of chocolate meringue slathered in chocolate mousse. Everything crunches, and then melts into a decadent mass. Three layers of alternating meringue and mousse—dark, lush, and piled high. The top surface is finished with a final mousse smear and meringue sticks. One whole mini-cake (which is on the larger side of mini-cakes) runs a very reasonable $5. A ideal way to kick off this sunny weekend to come, no?
