At low heat, heat this mixture (don't let it boil), stirring until enough thick to coat a wooden spoon. Add this mixture to the chocolate mixture by passing it through a fine sieve. Add vanilla and whisk until bright and unctuous. Let cool.
4
Beat egg white until soft picks. While beating, add icing sugar. Add slowly to the chocolate mixture and stir well.
