INSTRUCTIONS
For the pate, place chocolate and butter over a water bath and melt.
Let the chocolate cool a moment then add egg yolks and stir well. In
a clean mixing bowl whip the egg whites until foamy then add sugar 1
tablespoon at a time until the whites hold a soft peak. In another
mixing bowl whip the cream until it holds soft peaks. Fold a small
amount of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture then the rest
of the cream. After folding in cream gently fold in egg whites. Pour
the pate into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Top the pate with
toasted hazelnuts and dried apricots and refrigerate at least 4
hours. Remove from the pan and with a hot knife cut slices of the
pate. Serve with whipped cream
