Ingredients
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
4 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Preparation
Warm the cream in the microwave, or in a small saucepan over medium heat, until it is very hot but not boiling. Combine the corn syrup and chocolate in a mixing bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate mixture, and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted, and the mixture is smooth.
