Ingredients

1 (4 oz.) package Baker's German Sweet
1 cup Butter
2 Cups sugar
4 Eggs, separated
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Baking soda

Directions

1
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
2
Add the Baker's German Sweet and sugar to the melted butter, stirring constantly until fully combined and smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
4
Slowly pour the hot chocolate-butter mixture into the egg yolks while whisking vigorously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
5
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
6
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda.
7
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
8
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the warm chocolate sauce until no white streaks remain.
9
Serve warm immediately over your favorite dessert.
