Instructions

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl.
Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it gently simmers.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir the mixture until completely combined and smooth.
Let it sit at room temperature to cool and thicken, stirring occasionally.
Once cooled, it can be piped, scooped, or used as a glaze.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Finely chop chocolate for better melting. Heavy cream is recommended for the best texture.
