Ingredients
- 150ml double Cream
- 50g Butter
- 4 Eggs
- 180g Black Chocolate
- 1 sachet of Vanilla Sugar
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into pieces, put them into a bain-marie and leave it to melt over a low heat without touching the chocolate.
- Add the butter, in pieces, let it melt, smoothing it with the help of a spatula, and take the bain-marie off the cooker.
- Pour in the double cream and smooth the mixture.
- Break the eggs, separating the whites and the yellows, put the whites into a salad bowl and the yellows into bowl, beat the yellows until creamy, then pour them onto the chocolate and mix them in by carefully stirring and turning the mixture.
- Beat the whites into a firm snow, and add the vanilla sugar, without ceasing to whisk the mixture, until it is smooth.
- Pour half of the chocolate over the whites, mixing it well. Pour in the rest of the chocolate and blend it into the mass using a lifting motion, with the help of a spatula so that you do not break the whites.
- Put the mixture into a fruit dish and keep it in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving it.
