For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage. Make sure the chocolate is cooled but still fluid before folding it into the meringue to prevent the meringue from deflating. The Italian meringue can be tricky. Make sure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature for the best results. Chilling the cake before serving allows the flavors to meld and the chocolate cream to set properly.
