Ingredients

200g of dark chocolate (at least 60%)
110 ml of milk
4 whites egg
2 yolks egg
20g of coconut sugar
1 pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of crushed hazelnuts

Preparation

1
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.

Remove from heat and pour over the chopped or finely chopped chocolate. Let stand for one minute, then stir to obtain a smooth ganache.

Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. When they begin to thicken, gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until you obtain a firm and glossy meringue.

Gently fold in one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to loosen it, then add the rest in two batches, using a spatula, without breaking the egg whites.

Divide into ramekins or small glasses.

Serve chilled, with a few toasted hazelnut pieces.
