2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 unbeaten egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream

Melt chocolate chips in double boiler. Cool to lukewarm. Combine in small bowl the sugar, water, egg white, vanilla, and lemon juice; beat with electric mixer at highest speed until soft peaks form when beaters are raised (3–5 minutes).
