Ingredients

• 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream, divided
• 2 tablespoons crème de menthe
• 1 egg white, slightly beaten

Directions

1. Melt chocolate in the microwave with ¼ cup of heavy cream.

3. Fold a large spoonful of whipped cream into the cooled chocolate.
4. Gently fold in the egg white and crème de menthe.

Tips

Microwave the chocolate slowly to avoid overheating. Stop and check every 30 seconds until only small bits of unmelted chocolate remain.

Use a chilled bowl for whipping the cream. You can place the bowl in the freezer as you start making this recipe.

You can also use pasteurized egg white.
