Ingredients

Servings

Units

8 oz dark chocolate (chopped (good quality))
2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)

Equipment

Electric hand mixer For whipping cream

Rubber spatula For gentle folding

Instructions

1

Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
2

In a separate chilled large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cooled melted chocolate to lighten its texture.

Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until completely combined and smooth, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
