Ingredients

  • 5 extra large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup ghee (at room temperature)
  • 12 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 13 cups honey

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, with the rack in the center of the oven.
  • Crack the eggs into a measuring cup or bowl with a spout and set aside.
  • Cut the ghee into little pieces while cool, then allow to warm to room temperature.
  • Spread some extra ghee in a 10" porcelain torte pan.
  • Locate a larger pan to use for a water bath.
  • Place this pan in the oven and add some water to it.
  • Put the chocolate in a food processor and process until it is in tiny pieces.
  • Put the honey in a small saucepan and bring to a rolling boil.
  • Turn the food processor on and add the boiling honey to the chocolate.
  • Add the ghee (ghee must not be cold!
  • Room temperature or melted is fine) to the processor piece by piece.
  • Pour the eggs in one at a time.
  • Process only until this mixture is very smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the water bath.
  • Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
  • When done remove from water bath and let cool in its pan on a rack.
  • It is ready to serve.
  • Notes: I like to undercook this (20 minutes in my oven), let it cool then stick it in the refrigerator and warm just to room temperature before serving - it has the texture and taste of truffles!
  • This can easily be frozen either whole or in slices.
