Place the egg yolks into another bowl over simmering water and whisk, adding the Siúcra Golden Caster Sugar and whisking until light and fluffy. Cool the melted chocolate and take the egg sugar mixture from the heat. Cool slightly and then combine with the cool melted chocolate and fold in the cream.
Spoon the parfait into 2 pretty glasses and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set.
