Preparation 

Melt the chocolate: Place the bowl of chocolate over a pot of simmering water on the stovetop. 

While it’s melting, pour the whipping and milk in a saucepan and heat slightly over low heat. 

Pour the warm cream & milk mixture over the melted chocolate and mix well to create a ganache. 

Whip the egg white until stiff peaks form. Add the whipped egg whites to the ganache and mix gently.
