Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • cups bittersweet chocolate I used chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 3 egg whites whipped to stiff peaks

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Line the inside of a 10 inch spring form pan with parchment. Lightly mist with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Combine the water, salt, and sugar in a small sauce pan. Heat to a simmer and stir until all of the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine the butter and chocolate in a glass or heat proof bowl. Melt in the microwave or over a double boiler.
  • Place your melted chocolate into the bowl of an electric mixer and whip until cool. Add the dissolved sugar mixture followed by the eggs and egg whites. Stir until fully incorporated and pour into your prepared pan.
  • Bake 45 minutes. The middle will look wet, but don’t worry it is finished. Allow to cool 20 minutes then transfer to your refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Serve with ice cream or your favorite fruit!
