Description

A very airy pie; don't be surprised if it sinks a little after baking—this is normal, as its consistency is quite similar to that of a soufflé.

Ingredients

Celery stalk - 21.2 oz
Butter - 5.3 oz
Bittersweet Chocolate - 10.6 oz
Chicken Egg - 6 pieces
Sugar - 7.1 oz
Oranges - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the celery stalks in half and place them in a saucepan. Add 100 ml of water and 100 g of sugar, then bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about twenty-five minutes. Allow to cool, then arrange at the bottom of a 22 cm diameter baking dish.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat them separately with the remaining sugar. Fold the yolks into the chocolate, mix well, then gently fold in the egg whites, and pour the mixture into a mold lined with celery.
