Directions

1. 1

   Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a bowl with butter. Melt in a hot water bath while stirring occasionally. Separate the eggs. Gradually stir egg yolks, brandy and icing sugar into the chocolate cream.

2. 2

   The correct consistency is reached as soon as the mixture falls off the spoon with a heavy tear. Beat the egg white until stiff. Stir 1/3 of it into the chocolate cream with a whisk. Fold in the remaining beaten egg white with a dough scraper.

3. 3

   Pour cream into a bowl and chill for about 2 hours. Whip the cream until stiff and fill into a piping bag with star-shaped spout. Garnish cream with cream patches and chocolate leaves and dust with cocoa powder.
