Instructions

Work steadily to keep whipped egg whites and cream cool.
Separate the eggs; place the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another. Let the whites sit while preparing other ingredients.
Whisk the yolks until smooth and uniform.
Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Beat the cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-whip.
Add sugar to the egg whites and beat until firm peaks form.

Notes

For best results, ensure that your bowls and tools are clean and dry to achieve firm peaks in the egg whites.
Feel free to add flavorings to the melted chocolate for a unique twist, but check the notes for guidance.
