Ingredients

  • 7 ounces dark chocolate about 54 to 55% cocoa chopped
  • ¾ cup heavy cream or whipping cream
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the chocolate into a medium-sized, heatproof bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the cream until it just begins to simmer, and then pour it over the chocolate.
  • Let it sit a minute or two to allow the chocolate to soften. Then gently stir with a whisk until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Then cover and set aside until it is set enough to drizzle over the cake, but isn't too runny.
