Scale
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar

- Gently fold the egg whites into the cooled melted chocolate, then fold in the whipped cream, maintaining airiness.

- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
