Step 1: Cream + Chocolate

• Break the chocolate into small pieces and set aside.

• In a small saucepan or microwave heat half of the cream until it begins to boil.

Note: Microwave is always convenient option. If using saucepan, this happens faster if you preheat the saucepan before adding the cream.

• Turn off the heat, add the chocolate pieces and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.

• Pour the mixture into a bowl set over a large bowl of iced water and add the rest of the cream.
