4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/4 cup whipped cream
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 eggs yolk lightly beaten
4 eggs white
2 tablespoons sugar
12 lady fingers split
Orange Sauce (see below)
In a small saucepan combine chocolate, cream and butter or margarine; melt over low heat. Remove pan from heat. Gradually beat in egg yolks. Return pan to heat. Stirring constantly over low heat, bring to just under boiling to thicken (do not boil). Pour into a large bowl. Cool.
In a small mixer bowl beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar and continue beating until stiff but not dry. Fold half of the egg whites into chocolate mixture with a whisk. Fold in remaining egg whites with a rubber spatula until color is uniform.
Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 -inch loaf pan and line with waxed paper. Line sides of loaf pan with ladyfingers; pour in chocolate mixture. Cover and freeze until firm. One hour before serving, remove from freezer and keep in refrigerator.
To serve, slice loaf and pour some sauce over each serving.
