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 getting too warm.
- Separate the eggs while they are cold. Place the whites in a large bowl and the yolks in a small bowl. Set the whites aside while preparing the other ingredients.
- Whisk the yolks until smooth and uniform.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and combine with butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Beat the cream until stiff peaks form, taking care not to over-whip it.
- Add sugar to the egg whites and beat until firm peaks form.
Notes
For the best texture, ensure your egg whites and cream keep cool during the process.
Optional flavorings can be added to the chocolate mixture before cooling.
Use a hand mixer for best results when whipping cream and egg whites.
