Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs separate yolks and whites, set aside one of the yolks
  • 8 ounces/250 grams of good quality bittersweet chocolate parve
  • 1 ounce/25 grams margarine
  • 1 teaspoon coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Separate five yolks and six whites into two bowls and set aside.
  2. Melt chocolate and margarine together in a bain marie (water bath). Whisk briskly.
  3. Tip: Remove chocolate mixture from heat when it is halfway melted. Keep whisking. The chocolate will continue to melt, but will achieve a tempered state. Tempering chocolate is easy and will result in a chocolate that maintains its color, shine without white streaks once it is served at room temperature. More than that, it will keep its consistency and not melt!
  4. Add dissolved coffee, and keep whisking briskly.
  5. Once the chocolate is completely melted, add the powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
  6. Add one egg yolk at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition.
  7. Whip egg whites until you have soft peaks.
  8. Gently fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture until incorporated.
  9. Pour in your container of choice and let set in the refrigerator at least one hour.
