- In a medium saucepan, melt 11 oz of bittersweet chocolate, 4 tbsp of unsalted butter, and 2 tbsp of peanut butter over simmering water.
- Set aside the melted chocolate mixture and keep it warm.
- Using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks with 2 tbsp of sugar until well-blended.
- Cook the egg mixture over medium-high heat until thickened, then whisk until it reaches room temperature.
- Fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
- In another bowl, whip 4 cups of heavy cream and 2 tbsp of sugar until soft peaks form, then fold it into the chocolate mixture.
