Critical Success Points

  • Separate the whites without yolk contamination.
  • Whip the whites correctly (not too firm, pearly texture).
  • Precise microwave cooking (20 s) to avoid drying out.
  • Achieve a smooth chocolate sauce without lumps.

Safety Warnings

  • The bowl used in the microwave becomes very hot; handle it with a kitchen glove.
  • Do not leave the egg whites unattended while beating to avoid splatters.
  • Use clean utensils to avoid bacterial contamination.
