Cruise Chocolate Dessert

At dinner one evening on the cruise, several of us ordered a "trio" of desserts.  The plate included three tiny dessert morsels including a small cheesecake offering, a petite savarin and a most delicious chocolate treat.  We asked Michael, our head waiter, if he could locate the recipe and, on a tiny slip of paper, he provided the following information:

1 pound chocolate
1 whole egg
1 pound butter
1 pound sugar

Cook in double boiler for 45 minutes.

It is basically a flourless cake, but the fat is ramped up a bit.  No wonder it was delicious -- at least in small portions.
