Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 3 large eggs separated, at room temperature
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar

Instructions

  • Add a pinch of salt and whip the egg whites. When they are starting to stiffen and form peaks, add the sugar, and whip until you have stiff but glossy peaks. Set aside.
  • In a microwave, heat chocolate in 1 minute intervals at 50% power until the chocolate melts. Stir briskly.
  • One by one, add the egg yolks and whisk them into the melted chocolate.
  • Fold in egg whites. Start by folding in 1/4 of the egg whites, then fold in the rest.
  • Scoop into fancy serving dishes and refrigerate until serving.
