Directions
- 1
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and butter cut into small cubes.
- 2
Sift in the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth with no lumps before placing over heat.
- 3
Heat over medium flame, stirring continuously with a whisk or silicone spatula.
- 4
Once the mixture begins to simmer and thickens slightly (about 5–8 minutes), remove from heat.
- 5
Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before pouring over your dessert — it will thicken further as it cools.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a deeper flavour, swap the cocoa powder for melted 70% dark chocolate. Pour while still warm over a cold cake for a perfectly glossy, even finish.
