Ingredients

1 pound bittersweet chocolate 

2 1/2 cups heavy cream 

Preparation

Chop chocolate finely using a serrated knife, and place in a large heat-proof bowl.

Bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat; pour directly over chopped chocolate. Allow to sit 10 minutes; use a rubber spatula to gently stir chocolate and cream until combined. Allow to sit at room temperature until just thickened, about 15 minutes.
