Beat the egg and egg yolk in a stainless steel bowl over a pan of hot, but not boiling, water until thickened. Squeeze the gelatine leaves and stir into the warm egg mixture until melted. Allow to cool while still beating.

Add the melted chocolate to the mixture, a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth and even. Stir in the liqueur.

Whip the cream until thick and carefully fold into the chocolate mixture.
