Before you begin
Serve cold for the texture of a cream puff. The creator also serves these frozen for an ice-cream-like centre. Let them soften enough to bite comfortably.
Method 做法
Mix the chocolate sponge
Warm the oil to about 60°C (140°F). Sift in the flour and cocoa, whisk smooth, then add milk and yolks. Beat the whites with salt and lemon juice, adding sugar gradually, to firm peaks. Fold into the chocolate base.
