Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Finely chop the semi-sweet chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, but do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate.
Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then gently stir with a spatula until smooth and glossy.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Allow the filling to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the chocolate cream filling for at least 1 hour, or until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.
Use as a filling for cakes, pastries, or any dessert of your choice. Enjoy!
