Mont Blanc, or Monte Bianco, straddles the Franco-Italian border and is the highest peak in western Europe. Its height has decreased by 2.2 metres in the past three years, prompting local concerns regarding its preservation.
Nigella Lawson describes Mont Blanc as her 'favourite pudding of all time,' emphasizing its impressive appearance despite being a simple dessert made of meringue, chantilly cream, and chestnuts.
Jay Rayner has criticized overly elaborate versions of Mont Blanc, asserting that the true essence of the dessert lies in its simplicity, celebrating the key flavors without unnecessary additions.
Various adaptations of Mont Blanc exist, ranging from meringue to pastry tarts and even light sponge bases. The classic meringue variant remains the most popular and beloved.
