Ingredients
Scale
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 400ml heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 30g unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts until smooth.
- Allow the melted chocolate to cool down to room temperature so it doesn't deflate the cream.
- Whip the chilled heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Stir a small amount of the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate to lighten its texture.
- Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate using a spatula until no streaks remain.
- Spoon the mixture into glasses and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
