Instructions

Step 1: Melt 8 ounces (225g) dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whip 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 3: In a clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 tablespoon (15g) granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Step 4: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream, then fold in the beaten egg whites until no white streaks remain. Divide the mixture into 4 tall glasses, filling each 3/4 full. Top with 1/4 cup (30g) dark chocolate shavings and a pinch of edible gold dust. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
