Ingredients

10 ounces sweet, dark chocolate, cut into small cubes
3 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean

Steps:

Place the chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream and vanilla bean, and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat immediately. Discard the vanilla bean and pour the cream over the chocolate, stirring to dissolve the chocolate pieces.
Refrigerate the chocolate cream for one hour, or until the mixture is completely chilled, stirring occasionally.
Beat the chocolate cream until it holds a peak. Refrigerate again for half an hour, or until ready to use.
