Stand Mixer fitted with the flat mixing paddle . Beat until the butter is
softened and creamy . With the unit running, slowly add the sugars;
beat until light and fluffy . Add one-third of the egg whites at a time,

the cream mixture just comes to a boil, pour it over the chopped
chocolate . Let the mixture rest for a few minutes, and then whisk to
