Method

  1. Put the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Once it has melted, add the cooca powder, fromage frais and maple syrup. Heat and mix until it's smooth and combined - don't let it get hot. Leave to cool.

  2. Whisk the egg whites, slowly at first, then on a fast speed until stiff, but not dry. Scrape the chocolate mixture into one side of the bowl with the eggs, then fold together. Spoon the mixture between 6 cups. Chill for 20 mins, then top with pomegranate seeds.
