Method
step 1
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwaveable bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until just melted.
step 2
Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, scatter in the sugar and whisk again until the mixture forms stiff peaks when you lift the whisk out (around 30 seconds).
step 3
Add a third of the egg white to the melted chocolate and mix vigorously, working fast so the chocolate doesn’t cool and harden.
step 4
Then fold in the remaining egg whites carefully using a spatula or large metal spoon. Spoon into 4 glasses or ramekins and set in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Serve each with a dollop of crème fraiche and shavings of dark chocolate.
