Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and remove from heat.

The egg whites will take longer to whip, but will form stiff peaks; just keep beating them.Info | Dairy Free Gluten Free Dessert Recipesprep:
