Note: Gram measurements do not adjust automatically with the serving multiplier.

Method
 

  1. Chop chocolate into very small pieces with a serrated knife. Place in a medium heat-safe bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, heat cream on medium-low heat until steaming and small bubbles appear just on the sides. Do not let boil. Remove from heat and pour over chopped chocolate. Let it sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  3. With a spoon or spatula, gently and slowly stir chocolate and cream until melted and fully incorporated.
  4. If using on cake as a glaze or for dipping, let cool for about 10-15 minutes, then use as desired.
  5. To make spreadable, cool for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
