Servings: Makes enough to fill 4-6 small dessert glasses
Ingredients:
- 200g Chocolate Grove Dark Chocolate (or your preferred variety)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the Chocolate Grove dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Egg Yolks: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until pale and thick.
- Combine with Chocolate: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the thickened cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the Ingredients Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, followed by the beaten egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; it should remain light and airy.
