How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 300°F. Grease 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

Combine water and cornmeal in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 5-7 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat; let stand 2 minutes.

Add butter, chocolate and vanilla; stir until melted. Cool completely.

Combine 1/4 cup sugar and egg yolks in bowl. Beat at medium speed until mixture is thick and lemon-colored. Stir in chocolate mixture.
STEP 5

Beat egg whites in another bowl at high speed until soft peaks form. Continue beating, gradually adding 2 tablespoons sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form. (Do not over beat.) Gently stir in chocolate mixture.
