How to Make Snow Eggs With Chocolate Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Egg Whites:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  2. **Gradually Add Sugar:** Slowly add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed.
  3. **Stiff Peaks:** Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. The meringue should hold its shape.
  4. **Prepare Hot Water Bath:** Have a bowl of very hot water ready. Also, have two tablespoons prepared.
  5. **Simmering Water:** In a deep skillet or saucepan, bring about 3 inches of water to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Do not let the water boil.
  6. **Shape the Snow Eggs:** Dip the two tablespoons into the hot water, then into the meringue mixture. Using the spoons, shape the meringue into large egg-like mounds.
  7. **Poach the Eggs:** Carefully slide the meringue “eggs” into the simmering water.
  8. **Gentle Poaching:** Poach for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then gently flip and poach for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Avoid breaking the meringue.
  9. **Drain and Cool:** Remove the snow eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to drain.
  10. **Chill:** Once cooled, transfer the snow eggs to a plate and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  11. **Make the Chocolate Sauce:** Melt 6 ounces of good quality semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  12. **Chocolate Sauce Consistency:** Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency. Add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur (optional).
  13. **Assemble and Serve:** Place the chilled snow eggs in individual serving dishes. Top generously with chocolate sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, and chopped nuts (optional).
  14. **Optional additions:** For extra indulgence, serve each snow egg over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
