    In another bowl, beat the eggs with sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until pale and frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until well combined. Then gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.

    Serve

    Garnish with reserved whipped cream and serve chilled.
