Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips sweet
  • 5 tablespoons robust coffee or espresso, boiling hot
  • 5 eggs separated
  • fresh strawberries optional
  • Whipped Cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk the egg whites until at stiff peaks and set aside.
  2. Put the chocolate coins in a food processor and pulverize.
  3. Slowly add the hot coffee and process until melted and blended.
  4. Add the egg yolks one at a time and blend thoroughly.
  5. Run this mixture through a strainer to sift out any shells and egg chalazae (What my wife calls the ‘umbilical cords’).
  6. Add one third of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture and fold gently.
  7. Add another third and do the same.
  8. Add the final third, ensuring that all of the egg whites are mixed in well and the finished product is uniform.
  9. Chill until set and serve with berries, whipped cream, Creme Anglaise, chocolate sauce or sides of your choice.
