6 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate
  • 34 cup powdered sugar
  • 14 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt (scant)

Directions

  1. 1
    Chop chocolate into small shards with a serrated knife.
  2. 2
    Put in bowl with the powdered sugar.
  3. 3
    Heat milk and 2 Tbs of the butter in saucepan to boiling.
  4. 4
    Pour the hot cream over the chocolate to melt and combine (this works better than putting the chocolate and sugar into the cream as you get fewer lumps).
  5. 5
    Return to saucepan over VERY low heat and stir to melt.
  6. 6
    Finish by adding the other 2 Tbs of butter, the vanilla, and the scant pinch of salt.
