4 eggs, separated
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp caster sugar/finely ground granulated sugar
Instructions
Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a simmering saucepan of water or in the microwave. Stir until all melted and smooth. Set aside.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then sprinkle on caster sugar and whisk until the mixture is thick and the sugar has dissolved.
Stir the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, then fold through the cream and then the whipped egg whites.

Refrigerate for at least three hours.
Top with chocolate shavings, raspberries or strawberries or whatever makes you happy.
