Tips
- • Temperature is key: Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest texture. • Use high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) for the most intense, rich flavor. • Whisk constantly when melting chocolate to prevent burning and achieve a glossy consistency. • Don't let the cream boil—steam and small bubbles are your signals for the perfect heating point. • For an extra luxurious touch, consider adding a splash of Grand Marnier or a pinch of sea salt. • Choose fresh, ripe berries for garnishing to add a bright, tangy contrast to the rich chocolate. • Serve immediately in pre-warmed bowls to maintain the ideal temperature and silky texture. • For a more decadent version, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
