Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Heavy cream
- 200 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 4 Egg yolks
- 60 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 200 ml of the heavy cream to a simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to combine evenly.
Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture lightly coats the back of the spoon, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In another bowl, whip the remaining 200 ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Transfer the chocolate cream into serving dishes or use it as desired in your favorite desserts. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving for the best texture.
