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.
