| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Fine-quality bittersweet chocolate |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Heavy whipping cream |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Dark rum or other liqueur - (optional) |
| 4 | Egg whites | |

Cut the chocolate finely and set aside.
In a saucepan, bring the cream to a boil and remove from heat. Add the chocolate and let stand a few minutes; whisk smooth and pour into a large bowl. Whisk in the liqueur and cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites and sugar and place over a pan of simmering water, whisking constantly, until egg whites are hot and sugar is dissolved. Whip on mixer until cooled and risen in volume -- do not overbeat until egg whites are dry.
Fold meringue into chocolate mixture, and place in bowls or glasses. Garnish with chocolate shavings just before serving.
