Chocolate Pâté
Method
Preparation of Chocolate Pâté
- 1
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 2
Mix Eggs and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
- 3
Combine Mixtures
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Mix until fully incorporated.

Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a loaf pan or a small baking dish and line it with parchment paper.

Bake the Pâté
Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

Cool and Chill
Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
