Critical Success Points

  • Melting the chocolate without water seizing it.
  • Achieving soft peaks in the egg whites.
  • Gentle folding to retain air.

Safety Warnings

  • The chocolate mixture is hot – handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Raw egg whites carry a risk of salmonella; use pasteurized eggs or heat‑treat the whites if concerned.
