Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the finely chopped chocolate to a mixing bowl and set it aside.
  • Pour the cream and vanilla into a small saucepan and scald it. Tiny bubbles will appear on the edges of the pan, and it should be very hot, but not boiling.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for about 4 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to stir until it's smooth and creamy.
