• Melt chocolate and butter together either in double boiler or in microwave 30 seconds at a time until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Beat eggs and sugar together until triple in volume, pale and mousselike.
• Mix almond meal with cocoa powder. Gently fold into egg mixture. Follow with chocolate mixture, then lime zest and juice.
