Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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

Instruction

  • 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 powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, shaved chocolate, etc.
