Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the heavy cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir the mixture until it is smooth and glossy.
Add the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully combined.
Allow the filling to cool and thicken at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or speed up the process by refrigerating it for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the filling has reached a thick but spreadable consistency, it is ready to be used in your hamentashen dough.
