Serves 8

Melt chocolate over hot water in the top of a double boiler.

Place water and sugar in small saucepan, cooking over medium heat until sugar is dissolved (stirring frequently).

Pour melted chocolate into blender or food processor. Blend, slowly adding in sugar/water mixture. Continue, while adding egg yolks, one at a time. Add brandy flavoring. Process until smooth. Set aside and let cool.

In a separate large bowl, blend egg white and whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in cooled chocolate mixture with a spatula.

Spoon into 8 individual serving dishes. May garnish with chocolate shavings.

Chill 2 hours.
