Allergens

Egg, Dairy

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg whites
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream until it begins to steam but not boil. Remove from heat and add the finely chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks are achieved.
3. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg whites, combining them carefully to create a marbled effect.
4. Pour the mixture into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
5. To serve, use a large round cookie cutter or similar mold to remove the dessert from the container in perfect slices. Place each slice on a plate and enjoy!
