- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3 large egg whites

- Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Combine sugar, 2 tablespoons water, cream of tartar, and egg whites in the top of a double boiler. Place over simmering water; beat mixture at high speed of a mixer until stiff peaks form (about 4 minutes).

Sprinkle each serving with 1/2 teaspoon grated chocolate.
