Where to find ingredients
You can find table cream in the baking or international food aisles of most New Zealand supermarkets. Dark chocolate bars (ideally 50-70% cocoa) are available in the confectionery aisle. If you cannot source traditional Brazilian-style canned table cream, you may use thickened cream as a substitute, though the texture will be slightly different.
Preparation method
- Warm the tin of table cream in a bain-marie over low heat.
- Add the chopped dark chocolate to the warmed cream.
- Stir continuously until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is perfectly smooth and glossy.
- Use immediately to fill or frost your cake as desired.
