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 steadily to ensure whipped egg whites and cream remain cool.
- Separate the eggs while they are still cold; place the whites in a large bowl and the yolks in a small bowl, then let the whites sit while preparing other ingredients.
- Whisk the yolks until uniform in consistency.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and combine with butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Beat the cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-whip.
- Add sugar to the egg whites and beat until firm peaks form.
Notes
Serve with extra whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.
Ensure your mixing bowls and utensils are squeaky clean to achieve the best whipped texture for the egg whites and cream.
If you want additional flavor, you can stir in flavor extracts after melting the chocolate.
