Directions:
Instructions:

1. Place the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of the sugar into a small bowl and mix.

2. Place the chocolate and the 3 tablespoons of cream into a bowl and set over a double boiler. Mix occasionally until chocolate has melted.

3. Beat the egg whites, 1 tablespoon of sugar and the pinch of cream of tartar until stiff peaks have formed.

4. Beat the whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of the sugar until stiff peaks have formed.

5. Now, once the chocolate has melted add in the yolks/sugar mixture. Whip with a whisk until all has been incorporated.

6. Add a bit of the whip cream into the chocolate/yolks mix and fold until incorporated. Do this with the egg whites, switching back and forth until both have been added.

7. Pour into molds, chill and serve with fresh raspberries.

Chef’s tip – With the addition of the cream of tartar, you may use a whisk to “fold” in the cream and the whites. Cream of tartar is a stabilizing agent and helps the whites hold their volume.
