Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large eggs,* separated
1/4 cup super fine sugar
1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
Small chocolate shavings or chocolate nibs, for garnish

Steps:

  • In the top of a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pot of hot water, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring. Remove from the heat and beat with a heavy wooden spoon until smooth. Return to the heat and 1 at a time, add the yolks, beating well after the addition of each. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks start to form. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar and beat until stiff.
  • In a third bowl, beat the cream until it becomes frothy. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the Grand Marnier and continue beating until it holds soft peaks.
  • Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no white speaks appear. Gradually fold in the whipped cream, reserving about 1/2 cup for garnish.
  • Transfer to a large decorative silver or glass bowl and refrigerate until well chilled.
  • To serve, spoon the reserved whipped cream on top and garnish with chocolate shavings.
