Ingredients

400g dark chocolate (70% cacao)
200ml Heavy cream
Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking tray with baking paper. For this portion size, a 20 x 20 tray would be just right.

Step 2

Chop the chocolate into small pieces for easy melting.

Step 3

Warm up the heavy cream in a pot and add it to the chocolate over a double boiler. Stir
the mixture until completely combined.

(Tip: If you get mixture which splits easily, try using a cream with a higher fat percentage. Ofcourse, also ensure that your utensils are completely dry and that you do not overheat the chocolate.)

Step 4

Pour the mixture into the baking dish and even out the top. Ideal thickness of the chocolate should be approximately 1cm. Refrigerate for 3 hours.

Step 5

Once the chocolate has set, remove it from the baking paper and dust on some cocoa powder using a fine sieve. Cut into bite-sized pieces and serve.
