Chocolate Mayonnaise

I can hear my arteries shouting no, No, NO!
While my taste buds are screaming yes, Yes, YES!
Imagine a BLT made with chocolate mayonnaise.
Or a simple fresh red ripe tomato swimming in it.
You must use this once made for it doesn't
keep very well in the refrigerator at all.
But it never lasts more than one meal anyway.
This is the stuff sweet dreams are made of!

Ingredients:
6 large egg yolks
1/4 pound unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
pinch of salt and pepper

Directions:
Place yolks in a stainless steel mixing bowl.
Combine unsweetened chocolate and olive oil
in double boiler and heat mixture to 115 degrees F.
Begin beating egg yolks on medium speed for 1 minute,
then increase speed to high and
whip until about doubled in volume.
Reduce speed to medium and add the chocolate
mixture to the yolks carefully, in a fine stream.
The yolks will start to emulsify and thicken.
If mixture becomes too thick you may add a
small amount of oil to loosen the mixture.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
