How to Make Chocolate Angel Food Dessert

  1. Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a double boiler or microwave (30-second intervals, stirring until smooth).
  2. While the chocolate melts, beat 4 large egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl until stiff peaks form.
  3. Set the whipped egg whites aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the egg yolks to the melted chocolate mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until combined.
  8. Gently fold the chocolate-cream mixture into the whipped egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  9. Add 2 cups of cubed angel food cake and gently fold until incorporated.
  10. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
