Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Beat the eggs with the salt, half the sugar, the vanilla, and the almond extract.

2. 2

   Heat together the milk, cream, chocolate, and the remaining sugar on medium-low heat until the chocolate has completely melted. Stir with a whisk to blend.

3. 3

   Combine the two mixtures and pour into a well buttered baking dish. Place the dish in a pan of hot water and bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour: a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

4. 4

   Cool in the baking dish, then unmold and chill in the refrigerator. Serve this amazing concentration of chocolate with great quantities of sweetened whipped cream.
