3 large eggs, separated

1/3 cup white sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/8 tsp cream of tartar

2 tbsp granulated sugar

Melt the chocolate and butter and keep aside to cool. 

Beat egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar til it is thick, pale and fluffy. Add the essence.

Fold in the melted chocolate. 

Make sure that the chocolate mixture is not hot or it will curdle the egg yolks.

Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. 

Whip the egg whites till soft peak stage.

Then add the 2 tbsp granulated sugar and beat till stiff peaks form.

 

Fold it into the chocolate mix. Put in molds and bake for 13 minutes til the edges are hard but the center is soft.
