Method

Break the chocolate into small pieces into a bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of hot water on a low heat and stir until melted. Don’t allow the chocolate to get too hot or it will lose its shine and become too thick.
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar with an electric whisk until light and thick and a trail is left when the whisks are lifted. Mix the cream cheese
