1 teaspoon lemon juice |
10 egg whites |
1/2 cups granulated sugar |
2 cups powdered sugar |

1. Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler then set aside to cool slightly.
2. Beat yolks and 1 cup sugar until smooth then stir in vanilla, liqueur and lemon juice.
3. Blend in chocolate mixture.
4. Beat egg whites in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar beating until stiff peaks form.
6. Stir 1 cup egg whites into chocolate mixture then fold in remaining whites.
