8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup light cream
  • 7 ounces semisweet chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons brandy
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons butter

Directions

  1. 1
    In a thick-bottomed pot, heat the cream until near boiling.
  2. 2
    Remove and set aside for 1 minute.
  3. 3
    Stir in chocolate until melted and smooth.
  4. 4
    Once melted, stir in egg yolks and brandy.
  5. 5
    Cool slightly, add butter and stir until smooth and shiny.
  6. 6
    Pour into individual serving pots.
  7. 7
    Sometimes if you add the butter when the chocolate isn't cool enough it will make the chocolate look as if it has split.
  8. 8
    To rectify this allow the mixture to cool a little longer before stirring in some cold milk, a little at a time, until you have a smooth consistency again.
