Step by Step Method
Step 1
Add chocolate and cream to a glass bowl and place over a pot of gently simmering water and with a metal spoon (DO NOT USE A WOODEN SPOON) stir until the chocolate has melted and then remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Step 2
In a mixer, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form and then add the sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
Step 3
Add egg yolks to the chocolate along with the coffee and mix to combine.
Step 4
Now gently mix in 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and then add the remaining egg whites and gently fold in to retain the light airy texture.
Step 5
Pour into individual glasses and refrigerate until chilled (about 2 hours), just before serving garnish with pistachios.
