Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 50 grams chocolate shavings or curls (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl along with the butter. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Whisk the eggs and sugar: In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale, thick, and frothy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Combine chocolate mixture with egg mixture: Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs while continuously whisking to combine. Add the vanilla extract and stir well.
4. Whip the heavy cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
5. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in thirds, being careful not to deflate the airiness of the whipped cream.
6. Add cocoa powder: Sift the cocoa powder over the mixture and gently fold it in to enhance the chocolate flavor.
7. Transfer into a container: Pour the chocolate mixture into a freezer-safe container or individual serving molds. Smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
9. Serve: Let the dessert sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping or slicing. Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls if desired.
