- Dip the two spoons into the bowl of water then into the meringue mixture and shape into large eggs between the two spoons.
- Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water.
- Poach 1 1/2 to 2minutes, then carefully turn over and poach for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the snow eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and drain on a clean tea towel or paper towels.
- When they have cooled, place on a plate and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Sauce:
- Melt the chocolate in a pan over simmering water or carefully in microwave.
- Stir in cream to get the consistency you like.
-
To Serve:
- Place the snow eggs into individual serving dishes, top with lots of chocolate sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Also nice with a scoop of ice cream under the snow eggs.

NOTE:
- Do not let the water boil when poaching the eggs as they will break up. Also make bigger eggs than you think they need be as they tend to shrink a little on poaching.

Very very interesting. I wasnt sure how this was going to work, kinda thought it woud be a flop since I never seen egg whites cooked like this... The whole time my friend was over my sholder saying "how on earth it this going to turn into a dessert? there is NO WAY these will turn into egg shapes"...... but I knew if it did work it would look awesome. Well it worked and it was AWESOME!!!! I felt like a culinary champ presenting these bad boys! These are so cool! I didnt use choclate sauce, just some ice cream topping I had on hand. Great dessert!
