Critical Success Points

  • Melt the chocolate with the hot cream without overheating
  • Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks but not too hard
  • Fold the whites into the ganache gently to avoid deflating them
  • Cool the ganache to below 40 °C before adding the whites

Safety Warnings

  • Boiling cream can cause burns; handle with care.
  • Raw egg whites carry a risk of salmonella; use fresh eggs and perfectly clean equipment.
