Ingredients
1 tin of cooking cream (nestlé-style table cream)
2 large bars of dark chocolate (roughly 70% cocoa), chopped
2 large bars of dark chocolate (roughly 70% cocoa), chopped
Where to find ingredients
Cooking cream: Look for 'table cream' or 'cooking cream' in the baking or long-life milk aisles of major supermarkets. If unavailable, heavy whipping cream is a suitable substitute. Dark chocolate: Choose quality bars with at least 70% cocoa found in the confectionery section or imported food aisles of local grocers; avoid cooking chocolate with high sugar content if possible.
Preparation method
- Gently warm the tin of cream using a double boiler over low heat
- Add the chopped dark chocolate into the warm cream
- Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture turns into a smooth, glossy consistency
- Use this as a rich filling or as a finish for your cake
