•  Melt the baking chocolate and butter in a double boiler pot.

•  Once melted, turn the flame off, add 2 tbsp of cocoa powder and mix thoroughly.

•  Add sugar to the mixture, stir and set it aside.

•  In a separate bowl, beat 4 eggs until they become foamy and gently, pour them into the chocolate mixture, stirring vigorously.

•  Serve cold. Your desert is now ready.
