For the cakes

For the topping

Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4.
Place the egg whites in a medium bowl and beat with a fork. Stir in the butter, ground almonds, sifted icing sugar, flour and finely chopped chocolate. Spoon the mixture into the holes of the pan, filling each hole almost to the top.
Bake for 17 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn out and leave topside up on a wire rack to cool.
Meanwhile, combine the cream and chopped chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, and then remove from the heat and leave to stand until thickened. Spoon over the top of the fully cooled friands.
