  Hi, Maria. My name is Maria as well. LOL To answer your question, I find it easiest to first fold 1/3 of the beaten egg white mixture into the chocolate. Then, fold the rest of the beaten egg white into the chocolate. Doing this makes it easier to incorporate the two ingredients more thoroughly without deflating the air you whipped into the egg whites. It's also key to be gentle. Using a rubber spatula, you want to "cut into the mixture in the center of the bowl. Scoop the chocolate/egg white mixture from underneath and then pile it on top of itself. Turn your bowl as work and repeat. Do not overmix. HTH
