This is a traditional French dessert that I've taken a few liberties with. It still works well and is worth giving a go!
Ingredients:
1 lime
1 lemon
7 egg whites
200g caster sugar
200g 70% cocoa powder chocolate
100g dark chocolate
1/2 tbsp ground
cinnamon
200g unsalted butter
60g cocoa powder
100ml plain greek style yoghurt or cream
1 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced thinly.
Method:
Prepare a bain-marie and chop the chocolate and butter before inserting to melt. Whilst the chocolate and butter is melting whisk the egg whites, adding the sugar a little at a time until the mixture stands in stiff peaks.
Squeeze the juice from one lime and half a lemon, and add the cinnamon. When the chocolate and butter has molten add-in the cocoa powder and yoghurt, stirring until mixed then take from the heat and add the citrus juice.
Quickly transfer the chocolate mixture into a large bowl and fold in the whisked egg whites. Fold carefully with a spatula to maintain aeration.

When mixed transfer to a suitable oblong dish top (about 15cm 30cm with the kiwi fruit and place in the refrigerator over night. Serve garnished with mint and a dollop of crème fraiche.
For an added richness add a measure of Amaretto or Cognac along with the citrus juice.
