    Beat the egg whites and a little salt with the whisk of the hand mixer until stiff. Mix the egg yolks, almonds and flour (becomes very crumbly). Stir in the very hot chocolate butter mixture. Finally fold in the egg whites with a hand whisk. Pour the mixture into the prepared form (it is very liquid).
