Ingredients

6 eggs, separated
¼ cup (55g) caster sugar
2 tablespoons cream
1 tablespoon plain flour
120g dark chocolate, melted
20g unsalted butter
120g raspberries
sifted icing sugar, to dust
ice-cream, to serve (optional)

Preparation method

Preheat oven to 190C or 170C fan. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cream, flour and melted chocolate.

Using an electric mixer, beat eggwhites until soft peaks form. Gently fold eggwhites into chocolate mixture with a spatula.

Melt half of butter in a large ovenproof frying pan on low heat. Pour in half of egg mixture. Bake omelette for 3-6 minutes, until puffed and set.

Slide omelette onto a warm serving plate and top with half of raspberries. Fold omelette in half and dust with icing sugar. Repeat with remaining ingredients, except ice-cream, to make another omelette.

Cut omelettes into thick slices and serve immediately with vanilla ice-cream, if you like.
