Meanwhile, beat egg yolks in a large bowl of an electric mixer until light and thick. Transfer to top of double boiler. Cook, stirring, over hot water until thick. Return to mixer bowl. When chocolate is melted, stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Slowly beat in egg yolks. Beat cream until stiff. Fold into chocolate mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into mixture. Pour into a lightly oiled 8-inch spring form pan. Refrigerate overnight.

To serve, cut into pieces and place on cold plates. Drizzle a small amount of warm chocolate sauce over the top of each wedge and place a "puddle" on either side.
