  3. Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the cream until stiff and gently fold into the chocolate-yolk mixture.

  4. Fold in the beaten egg white: Beat the egg white in a large bowl until stiff and gently fold into the chocolate mixture until everything is well mixed and an airy consistency is achieved.
