Frozen Chocolate Cream

Directions

1. 1
   Finely chop the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Pour the cream into a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and warm it until it begins to steam and a few bubbles appear on the surface. Whisk in the sugar and salt and simmer until dissolved. Remove the cream from the heat immediately and pour it over the chocolate. Stir gently with a wire whisk to make sure that all the chocolate has come in contact with the hot cream; let it rest for a few minutes, then stir slowly until smooth.
2. 2
   Pour the chocolate cream into a metal bowl or pan and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to keep a skin from forming. Cover with wax paper and chill in the refrigerator until cold (about 1 1/2 hours), then move it to the freezer to harden. Let soften for about 5 minutes before serving.
