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

Instructions
- Work steadily to keep whipped egg whites and cream from warming too much.
- Separate eggs and yolks while cold. Put whites in a large bowl, yolks in a small bowl, and set aside the whites for later.
- Whisk the yolks until smooth.

- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, being mindful not to over-whip.
- Add sugar to the egg whites and beat until they form firm peaks.
Notes
Ensure egg whites and cream stay cool for best texture.
Melt chocolate in short bursts to prevent burning.
Use chocolate shavings and more whipped cream for a delightful topping.
