Step 1
Separate eggs and yolks while eggs are cold. Place whites in a large bowl and yolks in a small bowl. Leave whites while you prepare other ingredients. (Note 4)
Step 2
Yolks: Whisk yolks.
Step 3
Melt Chocolate: Place chocolate and butter in a bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool - proceed with other steps.
Step 4
Cream: Beat cream until stiff peaks form (see video).
Step 5
Whites: Add sugar. Beat whites until firm peaks form (see video, Note 5)
Step 6
Fold egg yolks into cream using a rubber spatula - 8 folds max. Streaks is ok.
Step 7
Check Chocolate Temp: Touch the chocolate. Should still be runny but only lukewarm. If too thick, microwave 2 x 3 seconds until runny.
Step 8
Pour chocolate into cream yolk mixture. Fold through - 8 folds max. Streaks ok.
Step 9
Add 1/4 of beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture. Fold through until incorporated - "smear" the spatular across surface to blend white lumps in - aim for 10 folds.
Step 10
Pour chocolate mixture into egg whites. Fold through until incorporated and no more white lumps remain - aim for 12 folds max.
Step 11
Divide mixture between 4 small glasses or pots. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 12
To serve, garnish with cream and chocolate shavings. Raspberries and a tiny sprig of mint for colour would also be lovely!
