  4. Put the 200g of white chocolate and butter in large heat proof bowl and place on top of the pan of simmering water to melt gently.
  5. This way of melting significantly reduces the risk of burning the chocolate
  6. Crack the eggs into a bowl with the sugar and whisk using a hand held electric whisk for 4-5 minutes until pale and frothy

  10. Scatter over the other 100g of white chocolate
