Made this over the weekend and took it to work. This has been swoon-inducing in my chocolate loving friends. I used Callebaut chocolate and Droste cocoa. Meryl, thanks for the help in the hunt.
5 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 stick plus one tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup cocoa
2 whole eggs
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/3 cup heavy cream
Chill 1 quart pan-six inch springform or I used plastic wrap lined loaf pan.
Carefully melt the chocolate in the microwave or melt in double boiler. Cool until just warm, then beat in butter 1/4 at a time.
In another bowl beat eggs, yolks, sugar, salt and cocoa for several minutes with an electric mixer - your goal is to make very smooth and satiny but not beat in a lot of air. Add melted chocolate and mix until well blended. Whip cream until stiff and gently fold in to chocolate mixture. Pour mixture in pan, tap on counter to remove any air pockets. Chill overnight. Unmold. Cut in SMALL pieces. It was suggested that this be served with cream anglaise. I wish I had had some Grand Marnier to add to it.
