Gently melt the chocolate in a bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally- make sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove from the heat, then whisk in the egg yolks, then the butter and stir until all the butter has melted.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then, whisking continuously, gradually add the sugar. Do not over beat.

Pour the mixture into a greased and baking paper lined 10x25cm loaf tin, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, until just set, should be served not too cold and just set, so it's important to make this very close to the time required.
