    Remove from the oven and set aside to cool in the tin. Once fully cooled, cut into portions.

    For the chocolate sauce: Melt chocolate as before. Heat cream until about to boil. Combine egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Add cream and stir well. Pour into the still-warm pan and stir over gentle heat until thickened. Add melted chocolate and stir. Set aside until ready to serve, hot or warm. If reheating, do not boil.
