-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound fine quality bittersweet chocolate
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons dark rum or other liqueur -- optional
4 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
garnish:
chocolate shavings
Cut the chocolate finely and set aside.
In a saucepan, bring the cream to a boil and remove from heat. Add the
chocolate and let stand a few minutes; whisk smooth and pour into a
large bowl. Whisk in the liqueur and cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites and sugar and place over a pan of
simmering water, whisking constantly, until egg whites are hot and
sugar is dissolved. Whip on mixer until cooled and risen in volume -
do not overbeat until egg whites are dry.
Fold meringue into chocolate mixture, and place in bowls or glasses.
Garnish with chocolate shavings just before serving.
