How to Make Chocolate Rum Dessert

  1. Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler over gently simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks until thick and pale yellow.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1.5 ounces of the melted chocolate into the egg yolks until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the egg yolk mixture to the remaining melted chocolate in the double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of dark rum, 1 teaspoon of almond extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
  6. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  8. Spoon the mixture into stemmed glasses or demitasse cups, filling them about ¾ full.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set.
  10. Before serving, top with freshly whipped cream and garnish with chocolate curls.
