INGREDIENTS
350
grams
Dark chocolate
roughly chopped
300
ml
Double cream
1
tbs
of your favourite liqueur
optional
Instructions
Place the chopped chocolate into a heat proof bowl. Heat the cream on a medium heat, until you see bubbles around the side of the pan. Do not boil.
Pour the cream over the chocolate and leave to infuse for a couple of mins to allow the chocolate to soften.
Add the liqueur then gently start to mix the cream and chocolate together, until you have a rich smooth glossy consistency.
Leave to set to a spreadable consistency at room temperature. This could take a couple of hours, depending on how hot your kitchen is.
Notes
Avoid placing in the fridge at this point as it may set too hard and lose the shine.
