Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs (~55g/2 oz each)
- 125g / 4.5 oz dark cooking chocolate, bittersweet / 70% cocoa
- 10g / 0.3 oz unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup cream, full fat
- 3 tbsp caster sugar (superfine white sugar)
- more whipped cream
- chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Work at a steady pace to keep the whipped egg whites and cream from becoming too warm.
- Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large bowl and the yolks in a small bowl while the eggs are cold. Allow the whites to sit while preparing other ingredients.
- Whisk the egg yolks until uniform in color.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave-proof bowl, breaking the chocolate into pieces. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth. Cool slightly before continuing.
- Beat the cream until stiff peaks form, being cautious not to over-whip.
- Add sugar to the egg whites and beat until firm peaks form.
Notes
Serve with additional whipped cream for extra richness.
Chocolate shavings make for an elegant finishing touch.
Make sure to let the melted chocolate mixture cool slightly before combining.
