How to Make Chocolate Cream
- Melt 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 4 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks until light and pale.
- Gradually whisk half of the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten egg yolks, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes glossy and thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold a spoonful of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the remaining egg whites until just combined.
- Spoon the mixture into individual dessert glasses (about 1/4 cup per glass).
- Cover and chill for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
- Garnish with freshly grated orange zest or whipped cream before serving.
