Method

Prepare a double boiler. You can do this by bringing a few centimetres of water to a simmer in a saucepan. Place a glass or stainless steel bowl over the top, so that it fits snugly without touching the water below.
Place chocolate in the bowl and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Add egg yolks and beat until thick and smooth.
In a separate large bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Quickly fold the chocolate mixture into it.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add the Chelsea Caster Sugar, beating until thick and glossy.
Fold half the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture, then add the rest, folding gently.
Spoon into six individual dishes or glasses, or one large dish/bowl. Refrigerate until firm (ideally at least 6 hours).
Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, to serve (optional).
