Yield Makes 1 3/4 cups, or enough for 10 large cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate or semisweet chocolate
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Chop the chocolate into small pieces, and place in a medium bowl. Scald the cream, and pour it over the chocolate. Let the mixture stand 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  • Let the glaze stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • For the smoothest possible surface, carefully dip the cupcakes into the prepared chocolate glaze. Let cupcakes drip, dripped-side down, for several seconds, and then turn right-side up. Allow glaze to set before decorating.
