Food & Wine






List of Ingredients



• 5 large egg yolks
  
• 1/4 cup sugar
  
• 1/2 lb. milk chocolate, melted
  
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  
• 2 cups heavy cream
  






Instructions



1. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and stir until the yolk mixture is hot to the touch.
   
   
2. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat yolks until double in volume. Add the chocolate and beat on low speed just until incorporated; the mixture will stiffen. Beat in melted butter. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and beat on medium speed until smooth.
   
   
3. In another bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form. Beat one-quarter of the whipped cream into the warm chocolate mixture, then fold in remaining whipped cream. Pour chocolate cream into a serving bowl and refrigerate until firm, preferably overnight.
