Notes

Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. Make sure egg whites are at room temperature for easier whipping. Do not overmix when folding in ingredients to maintain airiness. Allow the croquant to cool completely before cutting to avoid crumbling. For a fun presentation, sprinkle powdered sugar or drizzle melted white chocolate on top.
