Ingredients
400 g | dark chocolate, into pieces |
400 g | full fat cream (cool) |
8 | eggs, separated |
2 tbsp | caster sugar |
Pinch of salt |
Preparation
- Place chocolate into the bowl and gate for 10 seconds on speed 6.

- Place the butterfly into the bowl and whip the remaining 150 g cool full fat cream on 2 ½ minutes on speed 3 until it has thickened.
- Place the whipped cream into a separate bowl.
- Clean and dry the bowl and lid - make sure it's very dry or otherwise your egg whites won't whip in the next step!
- Place the butterfly into the bowl and add the egg whites, caster sugar and a pinch of salt (the salt will stabilize the egg whites).
- Whip for 8 minutes on speed 3 or until stiff peaks have formed.
- Add the chocolate mixture and the whipped cream to the bowl.
