Decorating tips:

• Dust the top with cocoa powder or icing sugar for a beautiful and simple finish.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each serving for a delicious contrast.
• Garnish with fresh berries or mint for a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
• Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce just before serving for added decadence.

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs
• 200g of chocolate

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until well combined.
4. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to combine.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
