Line 5-3/4-x 3-1/4-inch (625 mL) loaf pan with plastic wrap; set aside.
In saucepan, melt together chocolate, butter and sugar over medium-low heat until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks, one at a time; cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until thickened and glossy. Transfer to large bowl; let cool to room temperature.
