Chocolate Yummy Rummy

12-oz. pkg. semisweet chocolate chips
6 eggs, separated
1/2 c. strong coffee
1/2 c. sugar
4 Tbs. rum

Heat coffee to boiling; add sugar to dissolve. Add chocolate chips.

When chips have completely melted, remove from heat and very gradually stir in well-beaten egg yolks. Add rum.

When chocolate mixture is fairly cool, beat egg whites until stiff and fold into the chocolate. Pour into individual dessert cups or bowls and refrigerate at least 12 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream and/or nuts.

Serves 6 - 8.
