Method
- 1 Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a double boiler until smooth, then let cool for 5 minutes.

- 3 Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy, then add the sugar and continue beating until stiff and glossy.
- 4 Fold the egg whites into the chocolate in three stages, gently mixing from the bottom up to retain the air bubbles.
