Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 oz dark chocolate
3 c heavy cream, divided into 1/4, 3/4, and 2 cups
4 large egg yolks (only)
2 Tbsp white sugar
pinch of salt
1 c powdered (confectioners) sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Melt chocolate with 1/4 cup heavy cream in a pan. Then put into a larger-sized bowl. Set aside.
  • 2. Whisk together yolks, sugar, and salt in another bowl. Set aside.
  • 3. Warm 3/4 cup of heavy cream in heavy pan until bubbles just start to form around edges.
  • 4. Temper egg yolks mixture into warm cream by slowly pouring the cream into egg yolks, gently stirring. Then pour the eggs & cream mixture back into the pan.
  • 5. Return mixture to medium heat and stir continuously until custard just thickens to a slight boil & a wooden spoon dragged through the custard leaves a trail that stays in place.
  • 6. Pour into the chocolate and whisk together until smooth. Let chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.
  • 7. Whip the 2 cups of heavy cream & powdered sugar with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • 8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Mix gently to a uniform consistency.
  • 9. Spoon into dessert dishes (or a pie shell). Chill until ready to serve.
