Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until it just melts.

2. 2

   Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, add the sugar and whisk again until the mixture forms stiff peaks when you lift the whisk (about 30 seconds).

3. 3

   Add a third of the egg whites to the melted chocolate and mix vigorously, working quickly so the chocolate does not cool and harden.

   Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites using a spatula or a large metal spoon. Spoon into 4 glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for 2‑3 hours. Serve each with a spoonful of crème fraîche and shaved dark chocolate.
