Ingredients
150g dark chocolate (I use 52% cocoa dark chocolate)
150g milk chocolate
1/4 cup castor sugar
3 eggs (shells washed)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
300ml whipping cream + extra for decoration
Method
150g dark chocolate (I use 52% cocoa dark chocolate)
150g milk chocolate
1/4 cup castor sugar
3 eggs (shells washed)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
300ml whipping cream + extra for decoration
Method
- Chop both dark and milk chocolate bars into small pieces and melt using a double boiler
- Once melted thoroughly, mix together to combine and set aside to cool
- Whip the 300ml of whipping cream until stiff peaks form then keep refrigerated
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until they double in volume and thicken that the mixture forms a ribbon when dropped using a spatula
- Sift the cocoa powder into the beaten eggs mixture, together with the cooled melted chocolate, fold them using a flat plastic spatula just until incorporated. Do not whip using an electric whisk because you will lose the air in the mixture and it will flatten.
- Fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream at a time into the eggs and chocolate mixture gently until incorporated and continue until all the whipped cream has been used.
- Fill the mixture into individual glass ramekin, top it up with extra whipped cream then dust with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings.
- Refrigerate until ready to be served.
