SNOW EGGS WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE
I first made these when my girls were small. Just something a little different. Use your own chocolate sauce recipe if you prefer. For adults you can add in some of your favourite liqueur to the sauce.

Steps:
- Eggs:.
- Beat the egg whites until frothy, then very slowly add in the sugar, a little at a time while continuing to beat.
- Keep beating until all the sugar is absorbed.
- Have ready a bowl of very hot water and two tablespoons.
- On stove top have a deep frypan of simmering water. (Not boiling).
- Dip the two spoons into the bowl of water then into the meringue mixture and shape into large eggs between the two spoons.
- Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water.
- Poach 1 1/2 to 2minutes, then carefully turn over and poach for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the snow eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and drain on a clean tea towel or paper towels.
- When they have cooled, place on a plate and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Sauce:.
- Melt the chocolate in a pan over simmering water or carefully in microwave.
- Stir in cream to get the consistency you like.
- To Serve:.
- Place the snow eggs into individual serving dishes, top with lots of chocolate sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Also nice with a scoop of ice cream under the snow eggs.
- NOTE:.
- Do not let the water boil when poaching the eggs as they will break up. Also make bigger eggs than you think they need be as they tend to shrink a little on poaching.
