1. Heat half of the cream until it begins to boil. Turn off the heat, add the chocolate (broken into pieces) and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into a cold bowl and add the rest of the cream and Brandy or Amaretto, if using. Using a handheld electric whisk, beat the mixture to soft peaks.
3. Whisk the egg white with a handheld electric beater until stiff peak. Add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue whisking to a soft meringue. Carefully fold the meringue through the chocolate mixture, then spoon into chilled ramekins or serving glasses & sprinkle chocolate shavings.
I forgot to mention you can keep them refridgerated for 5 days
