This dessert is perfect for chocolate lovers who appreciate a silky, smooth texture paired with the robust flavor of dark chocolate.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Add the chopped dark chocolate and butter pieces to the heatproof bowl.
- Stir occasionally until both are melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In another heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.
- Place this bowl over the pot of simmering water and continue whisking for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is pale, thick, and slightly increased in volume.
- Remove from heat.
- Slowly add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg yolk and sugar mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined.
- Sift in the dry cocoa powder and mix until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Fold the overhanging plastic wrap or parchment paper over the top to cover.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Once the marquise is completely set, remove it from the refrigerator. Use the plastic wrap or parchment paper to help lift it out of the pan.
- Slice the marquise into thin slices using a sharp knife. For easier slicing, you may warm the knife blade by dipping it in hot water and wiping it dry between cuts.
- Serve chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate.: The overall taste of your marquise largely depends on the quality of chocolate you use. Opt for a dark chocolate with a high cocoa content for the best results.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature.: Having your butter at room temperature helps it to incorporate better with the other ingredients, resulting in a smoother marquise.
- Chill adequately before serving.: Allow the marquise to chill in the fridge for at least several hours, or preferably overnight, to achieve the perfect texture.
- Use a springform pan or similar mold.: For easy removal and a clean presentation, line the pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- Experiment with flavors.: Consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a tablespoon of coffee to the mixture for a unique twist on the classic flavor.
Your Chocolate Marquise is now ready to be enjoyed! Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and intense chocolate flavor make it an unforgettable dessert. Serve it chilled, perhaps with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream, and watch it disappear in no time. Whether for a special occasion or simply to satisfy a chocolate craving, this marquise is sure to become a favorite.
