In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and salt with an electric mixer on the highest speed until the mixture is pale, tripled in volume and falls from the beaters in a ribbon, about 5 minutes (using a stand mixer is preferable). With the machine running on medium speed, continue to whisk until the texture of the eggs resembles that of shaving cream, about 5 minutes.

Incorporate melted chocolate at the very end to create a dense mousse. Pour the mixture into ramekins and leave them in the fridge for a little weeknight treat.
