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 whipped egg whites and cream cool.
- Separate the eggs while they are cold: place whites in a large bowl and yolks in a small bowl, leaving the whites to prepare the other ingredients.
- Whisk the yolks in a small bowl until uniform.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.

For the chocolate, choose high-quality bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor.
Serve with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
Ensure to cool the melted chocolate slightly before mixing to avoid cooking the egg yolks.
