Delicious chocolate cream for filling

To begin, break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heat-resistant bowl. Be sure to use excellent quality chocolate, as this is what will determine much of the flavor of your cream.

Then, in a small saucepan, heat the cream and sugar over medium heat until well blended and the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not allow the cream to boil, as this may ruin the smooth texture of the cream.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate pieces. Let stand for a few minutes to soften the chocolate and then stir gently until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Here it is essential to be patient and not to stir desperately, so as to avoid the formation of bubbles in your cream.

Add the butter in pieces and the salt. Continue stirring until the butter is completely melted and the cream is smooth and shiny.

Let cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator if you need it to harden more quickly. This cream is ideal for filling a cake immediately or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
