Ingredients

  • 6ounces chocolate (may use bittersweet or semisweet), chopped
  • ¾cup heavy cream
  • 3tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces

Preparation

  1. Put the chopped chocolate in the Cuisinart®mixing bowl.
  2. Put the heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring to just a simmer. Pour hot cream over chocolate. Allow to sit for 1 minute to cool slightly.
  3. Attach the chef’s whisk and mix on Speed 4 until chocolate is melted and the mixture comes together, about 2 minutes. Add butter, one cube at a time, and whisk until fully incorporated and shiny.
  4. If using as a glaze, use immediately. If using as a filling, allow to sit until slightly hardened. Any leftovers can be refrigerated until solid, and then scooped and shaped into truffles.
