Ingredients
200 g dark chocolate (60-70%), chopped
3 large eggs, separated
1/4 cup caster sugar, or to taste
1 cup thickened cream, cold
1 tsp vanilla extract, optional
Pinch of salt
Sticky Balsamic Premium Pomegranate Pearls
Directions
Melt dark chocolate gently (microwave in bursts or over a bain-marie). Cool slightly.
Whip cream to soft peaks. Set aside.
Whisk egg yolks with half the sugar until paler. Stir in melted chocolate (and vanilla if using).
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding remaining sugar, until glossy soft-to-medium peaks.
Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold in egg whites in two additions.
Spoon or pipe into serving glasses. Chill 2 - 4 hours.
Just before serving, top with Pomegranate Balsamic Pearls. Let a little of the pomegranate-balsamic liquid cling and pool naturally for a glossy, freshly-spooned look.
