'1/2 cup of dark brown sugar'
'1/4 cup of water'
'3 large egg whites'
'100g of melted and cooled dark chocolate'
'1 1/2 tablespoons of strong brewed coffee, at room temperature'
'4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, at room temperature'
'1/2 cup of dark brown sugar'
'1/4 cup of water'
'3 large egg whites'
'100g of melted and cooled dark chocolate'
'1 1/2 tablespoons of strong brewed coffee, at room temperature'
'4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, at room temperature'
Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan
Melt over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves
Increase the heat slightly and cook until the mixture reaches a soft-ball stage, about 10 minutes
While this is cooking, beat the egg whites until they become very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes
Add the warm sugar syrup to the egg whites, beating constantly, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed
After adding the syrup, beat for an additional 5 minutes until the mixture holds its shape when lifted with a spatula
Melted chocolate, coffee, and beat well
Pour into a large bowl filled with ice
Beat in the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, beating until light and fluffy
Use immediately or refrigerate
If refrigerating, remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to allow it to come to room temperature
