Method
- Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it with the butter in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Separate the yolks from the whites. Stir the yolks into the chocolate one at a time, then half the sugar.
- Whisk the egg whites with the salt and, when they are almost firm, add the remaining sugar and whisk to firm, glossy peaks.
- Fold the whites into the chocolate in 3 additions with a spatula, lifting from the bottom, without beating, until no white streaks remain.
- Divide among glasses or a bowl and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Shopping tip
Dark cooking chocolate with 50 to 70% cocoa, in any chain. With chocolate above 70%, add 20 g more sugar.
