Place the egg yolks into a large mixing bowl and add 80g fructose
Whisk until pale and thick
Continue to whisk while you slowly add the chocolate
Add the yoghurt and mix to combine using a spatula
Place the egg whites into a stand mixer bowl and whisk until soft peaks form
Add the rest of the fructose a tablespoon at a time until thick and glossy
Add a third of the meringue into the chocolate mixture and stir gently to combine
Gently fold in the rest of the meringue and when completely mixed in pour the batter into the tin
Flatten the top as best as you can and pour hot water into the pan until three-quarters of the way up the tin
