Ingredients
- ½cup granulated sugar
- ¾cup plus 1½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2½tablespoons good-quality salted butter
- 7ounces milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 3eggs, separated
Preparation
- 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.
- 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.

Cooking Notes
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.
