Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment, and mist it lightly with non-stick spray.
  • Break up the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a medium bowl, along with the butter and salt.
  • Melt the mixture in a microwave* in 30-second increments (stirring after each), until smooth.
  • Whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks, then transfer to another bowl & set aside.
  • Place the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl and whip on high speed for 5 minutes, or until very pale and fluffy.
  • Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
  • Fold in the whipped egg whites, transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and bake until set around the edges but still a bit wobbly towards the center (approx. 55 to 65 minutes).
  • Cool completely before removing the sides of the pan and cutting into slices.
