Ingredients

9 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 cups creme fraiche or heavy cream
4 large eggs

Steps:

Break the chocolate into pieces and process in a food processor until very fine.
Heat the creme fraiche to boiling point and with the processor's motor running, pour it through the feed tube in a steady stream. Process a few seconds until smooth.
Separate the eggs and add the yolks to the hot chocolate mixture. Process for a few seconds to incorporate. Then transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool until it has thickened to spreading consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form when the beater is raised slowly. Stir about one-fourth of the whites into the chocolate mixture and then carefully fold in the remaining whites until uniform. Pour the mixture into a prepared six-cup souffle dish with a foil collar and freeze for at least three hours. Store up to three days.
When ready to serve, carefully remove the foil collar and serve at once.
