Step 1

Place the chocolate into a medium-sized, heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the cream until it just begins to simmer, and then pour it over the chocolate.

Step 3

Let it sit a minute or two to allow the chocolate to soften. Then gently stir with a whisk until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Then cover and set aside until it is set enough to drizzle over the cake, but isn't too runny.
