Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Do not stir. Cook over medium-high heat to a dark caramel, swirling as it begins to brown to distribute the sugar. Take off the heat and deglaze with the cream and butter. Add the chocolate, wait for a minute or two for it to melt and mix until smooth. Mix in the egg yolks.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk the egg whites until they form firm peaks and then fold into the chocolate mixture. Divide between 6 4-ounce ramekins and chill for at least 6 hours.

Three raw eggs in this recipe make me question food safety for a person with a weakened immune system.

Not very salty, and not fluffy at all. Should the chocolate mixture be cooled before folding in the egg whites? Seemed like it took a lot of the air out of the egg whites, despite careful folding.
