Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 75 g sugar

The following recipe has been tested and edited by SBS Food and may differ slightly from the podcast.

Instructions

Place the egg whites and 25 g sugar in a clean dry bowl, and whisk until soft peaks form.

In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar for about 5 minutes.

Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pan with gently simmering water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Stir until melted. Another bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Using a spatula, fold the chocolate and whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture. Beat in the egg white mixture.

Spoon into serving glasses and place in the fridge to chill.

Garnish with grapes or grated chocolate.
