  4. Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites - In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Whip the Cream - Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold into the chocolate mixture, being mindful not to deflate.

  • Chill serving glasses in advance for an elegant touch.
