1 can heavy cream (creme de leite)
2 large bars bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Where to find ingredients
Heavy cream is available in the dairy aisle of any local supermarket; look for 'double cream' or 'heavy whipping cream' for the best texture. For the bittersweet chocolate, look for high-quality baking bars in the baking aisle or specialty grocery shops. Brazilian-style canned 'creme de leite' can often be found in the international or Latin foods aisle of major supermarkets or specialized Latin grocers.
Preparation method
- Warm the heavy cream in a bain-marie (double boiler) until steaming
- Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate to the warmed heavy cream
- Stir continuously until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is perfectly smooth and glossy
- Use as a decadent filling or pour over your cake as a silky frosting
