Ingredients
1 tin double cream
2 large blocks bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 large blocks bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Where to find ingredients
Double cream is widely available in the dairy aisle of all local supermarkets. For the bittersweet chocolate, look for high-quality dark chocolate bars with at least 50-70% cocoa in the baking or confectionery aisle; avoid using candy bars with added sugars or fillings. If you cannot find high-quality blocks, use premium dark cooking chocolate from specialty food stores or well-stocked grocers.
Preparation method
- Gently warm the tin of double cream using a bain-marie (double boiler)
- Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate into the warmed cream
- Stir constantly until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and combined
- Spread or pour over your cake as a decadent filling or glaze
