Equipment

  • heatproof bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g dark chocolate (at least 70%) or chocolate chips
  • 1 cup full fat coconut cream or heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp espresso or vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave using 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth.
  • Cool the melted chocolate slightly until warm but not hot.
  • Whip the chilled cream with a hand mixer or whisk for 1–2 minutes until soft peaks form.
