Chocolate Head

We have long refrained from using the name "Head of the Slave," believing that this term is outdated and carries, even if unintentionally, racist connotations that we and our site and followers want no part of. We therefore decided to rename this recipe: "Chocolate Head."

Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • About 1/4 cup water
  • 2 drops white vinegar
  • Recipe for Chocolate Head from a friend of our site, always creative:
  • Dalal Kh‎

Method

  1. We put the water with the white vinegar and stir a little, then add all the other ingredients and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until the sugar dissolves.
  2. When the sugar has dissolved, we place the cream that has formed over steam and beat for about four more minutes.
  3. Then we continue beating on high speed without steam this time, but for longer, up to about twenty minutes, and that is how the cream is ready.
  4. We put the cream in a piping bag, then begin placing a little of it vertically on a plain biscuit (an unfilled biscuit), then dip the cream from the top in the melted chocolate.
  5. The chocolate can be melted over a hot bain-marie, adding a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate pieces.
