|
 |
8 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup water, divided
2 tablespoons butter
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
In a microwave, microwave the chocolate, 1/4 cup water and butter until the
chocolate and butter are melted; stir until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes. In a
small heavy saucepan, whisk egg yolks, sugar and remaining water. Cook and stir
over medium heat until mixture reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the
back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat; whisk in chocolate mixture. Set
saucepan in ice and stir until cooled, about 5-10 minutes. Fold in whipped cream.
Spoon into dessert dishes. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Yield: 6-8 servings.
