Preparation
- Step 1
Place the chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
- Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream and vanilla bean, and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat immediately. Discard the vanilla bean and pour the cream over the chocolate, stirring to dissolve the chocolate pieces.
- Step 3
Refrigerate the chocolate cream for one hour, or until the mixture is completely chilled, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4
Beat the chocolate cream until it holds a peak. Refrigerate again for half an hour, or until ready to use.
Private Notes
Comments
The ratio of cream to chocolate is not correct. You need about 1:1 chocolate to cream to create the right consistency.
