Method
Heat 150g/5oz maple syrup until bubbling (110C/230F)
Whisk the two egg whites until they form soft peaks
Slowly add the hot maple syrup and continue whisking until smooth, shiny and ‘ribboning’
Heat the double cream, vanilla, salt and liqueur in a pan until bubbling (90C/190F)
Pour onto the broken chocolate pieces and whisk until smooth and all the chocolate has melted
In a heat-resistant bowl add the two egg yolks and cold maple syrup, whisk together
Place the bowl over a over a bubbling pan of water (a bain marie) and begin to cook out, whisking continuously
Once you see thick ribbons, it is cooked out - the temperature should be circa 65C/150F
Pour onto the melted chocolate mix and whisk together, ensuring everything is smooth
Finally, while all ingredients are still warm, fold in a quarter of the egg white maple syrup mix, ideally with a cold metal spoon or whisk
Once mixed, add in the remaining three quarters
Pour into a clean jug for ease or direct into the ramekins, avoiding ‘knocking out’ the air
Set in fridge for at least 4 hours
