Method

  1. Melt the chocolate over a pan of barely simmering water. Leave to cool slightly.
  2. Separate the eggs. Stir the yolks into the chocolate one at a time.
  3. Whisk the whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt, adding the sugar at the end.
  4. Whisk a third of the whites into the chocolate, then gently fold in the rest with a spatula.
  5. Spoon into ramekins and chill for at least 3 hours.

πŸ’‘ Tip : The chilling time is not included in the total: make it the day before or in the morning.
