Ingredients

  • 8 oz Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 3 Large Eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • Whipped Cream for topping
  • Chocolate Shavings for garnish

Instructions

  • Melt chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in egg yolks one at a time until combined.
  • In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  • In another bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then fold in remaining egg whites until just combined with no white streaks.
  • Fold in the whipped cream gently until mixture is uniform and airy. Divide among 6 serving glasses or ramekins.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until set. Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
