Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, bring cream to a simmer and bubbles are just starting to form around the edges of the pan.
  • Remove from the heat; whisk in chocolate until smooth and shiny. Cool to room temperature.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Bring to room temperature before using.

Notes

For truffle filling, double the chocolate. For a pourable glaze, double the cream.
