Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts
- ¾ cup dry red wine
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon fine bread crumbs
- 6 ounces good quality semi sweet or dark chocolate chips (or bar cut into pieces)
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan or 13x9x2 inch pan. Set aside.
- In a food processor, finely chop the walnuts until almost flour like.
- In a small saucepan, combine wine, sugar, breadcrumbs, nuts and chocolate. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and cool.
- Separate eggs. Whip whites until they reach the stiff peak stage (the mountain formed when you pull out the beater stays upright).
- In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks until light. Add cooled chocolate mixture.
- Gently fold in the egg whites just until combined. Pour into prepared baking pan.
- Bake at 325℉ until the center is set, about 1 hour.
- Let cool completely. Serve with your choice of cocoa powder, powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, shaved chocolate, etc.
