   Melt the Chocolate

   In a heatproof bowl, melt the bittersweet chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

   Beat Egg Whites

   In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

   Whip Cream

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

   Combine Mixtures

   Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, followed by the beaten egg whites, until no streaks remain.
