These ‘friendly ghost’ meringues in a death-by-chocolate mousse graveyard with peanut butter tombstones remind us of our favourite friendly ghost – Casper, of course! “Casper the friendly ghost the friendliest ghost you know though grown ups might look in anger and fright the children all love him so…” We think these ghoulish sweets are the perfect addition to your Halloween party! Not only are they spooktacular to look at, but they taste great too!
A chocolate orgasm with red fruit delights is the perfect way to end off a meal of sinful indulgence. For such intricate-looking desserts, they are surprisingly easy and worth every step. Perfect for a dinner party or whenever you’re feeling especially naughty, these delicious delicacies mean the end of faking satisfaction.
Experiment with different biscuit bases and with white chocolate for variation.
