Ingredients

• 6 ounces semi sweet chocolate chip morsels, I recommend using the best quality available, you can also use dark chocolate
• ½ cup heavy cream, you can also use whipping cream

Instructions

1. Bring the cream to a simmer.
2. Once the cream is at a simmer, remove it from heat and add the chocolate morsels, making sure that the chocolate is covered by the liquid. Cover with a lid and let stand for 5 minutes.
3. After 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon, stir, in one direction, slowly until the cream and the chocolate is combined.
