Ingredients

  • 228 g semi sweet chocolate bar or chips (finely chopped if bar)
  • 228 g heavy cream
  • 18 g butter room temperature
  • 8 g Jameson whiskey (or more to taste) or whiskey/liquor of choice

Instructions

  • Place chocolate in glass or stainless steel bowl. (This helps retain heat and melt the chocolate)
  • In microwave or on the stove, scald cream. (Steam and a few bubbles around the edge is ok, boiling is NOT!)
  • Pour hot cream over chocolate and let sit 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir gently until the cream and chocolate comes together, then stir in butter and whiskey.
  • Set aside to cool at room temperature.
  • Mixture will thicken as it cools to a thick glaze consistency.
  • Store at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for 2 weeks.
