from my French host mother. Just chocolate and egg whites!

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Let the chocolate cool slightly, then fold it into the stiff egg whites. Pour into a large bowl or several small bowls and refrigerate. Tip: I’ve had melted chocolate curdle several times when I added liquid. I would be VERY careful with coffee or similar ingredients. Consider dissolving instant coffee in the chocolate.
