Chocolate Glaze image

This recipe is from Pierre Hermé. It is delicious! This glaze becomes thick enough to spread with an icing spatula after it cools a bit, but pours easily while still warm. This can be stored in the refrigerator and brought up to 94°F-104°F for later use. The extra chocolate sauce is great on ice cream!

0.333 (80 1/8 g) heavy cream
3 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

  • Continuing to stir gently, slowly add the butter piece by piece.
