Ingredients
6 oz (approx 60 pcs) Semisweet chocolate 2 Tablespoons water1 oz Rum - Captain Morgan Spiced Rum3 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw 3 Tablespoons (divided) Granulated Sugar
Directions
Place 6 oz semisweet chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Add 2 Tablespoons of water plus 1 oz (2 tablespoons) of rum - I like Captain Morgan Spiced Rum. Place bowl in a pan of barely simmering water and leave to start melting.

Separate eggs. To the yolks, add 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Beat until thick and lemon-colored, and flows from the beaters in a ribbon. Check chocolate - if nearly melted, remove from heat, and stir until smooth.

Beat egg whites until just to soft peaks. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over whites, then beat just until barely stiff peaks.

While beating yolks on low (or hand whisking), pour chocolate slowly into yolks. Stir until completely combined. Fold whites into yolk mixture in thirds, folding until no streaks remain.

Divide among 6 serving cups (I like to use china teacups).

Chill at least 1 hour until set. If chilling more than 1 hour, cover to prevent a skin forming.

Serve with fresh berries, if desired.
