Method

Preparation

1

Melt the Dark Chocolate

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2

Prepare the Cream Mixture

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.

3

Combine Sugar and Eggs

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

4

Mix in Vanilla

Add the vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.

Combining Ingredients

5

Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixture

Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.

6

Fold in Whipped Cream

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

7

Add Butter

Melt the butter and add it to the mixture, folding it in gently until fully incorporated.

Chilling and Serving

8

Chill the Mixture

Pour the chocolate mixture into serving cups or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Garnish and Serve

Before serving, top each dessert with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and chocolate shavings. Enjoy your dark chocolate & creamy dessert!
