Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

  2. Melt dark chocolate with half of the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
  3. Whip remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form. Beat egg yolks with half of the sugar until creamy; fold in melted chocolate, then gently mix in whipped cream.
