Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids or higher), finely chopped
- 100g unsalted butter
- 100g cane sugar or natural sweetener
- 200ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop the high-quality dark chocolate to ensure even melting. Measure out the unsalted butter, cane sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sea salt to have everything ready.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Using a double boiler or heatproof bowl over simmering water, gently melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together. Stir frequently until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Warm the Cream and Sugar: In a separate small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and cane sugar just until the sugar dissolves completely and the cream is warm but not boiling.
- Combine the Mixtures: Slowly pour the warm cream and sugar mixture into the melted chocolate and butter while stirring constantly to create a silky, well-blended batter.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the richness and balance the flavors perfectly.
- Chill and Set: Pour the mixture into a prepared dish or individual molds, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm but still creamy and easy to scoop.
Notes
- Choose high-quality dark chocolate with 70% or higher cocoa content for best flavor.
- Temper the chocolate carefully by melting it gently to avoid graininess and ensure a smooth texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help combine everything evenly.
- Do not rush the chilling process; proper refrigeration enhances texture and flavor.
- Taste as you go when adjusting sweetness, especially if using alternative sweeteners.
