The Best Homemade Chocolate Cream Recipe

Hello my chocolate lovers!! Don’t you crave for a large decadent dose of chocolate right now ??

Yes, you do? Well, that’s perfect, because I just happen to have the ideal recipe for you!! Please welcome my creamy chocolate!!

A Recipe Worth Sharing

It’s a recipe that I « stole » from Valrhona‘s website… I confess… And since it is such a delight, I had to share it with you!!

This recipe can be a part of another dessert, like an insert in a mousse or as a topping for individual cakes (here on top of chocolate shortbread cookies). Of course, it also works beautifully on a delicious chocolate tart.

How to Use This Creamy Chocolate

In such cases, you just have to make a pastry (shortcrust, sweet, shortbread, hazelnut shortbread) that you will bake without anything on it. Once cooled down, spread the creamy chocolate, and that’s it!! Easy, right?

You can also serve it with little cookies or meringue. Presented in a little jar, it will be perfect for a charming dessert. Another idea? Stuff your choux with this creamy chocolate, and you are sure to make quite an impression!!

Essential Utensils for Success

My Affinity sauce pan by De Buyer (it has a thick structure which is good for this recipe). My professional whisk by De Buyer. And, of course, my trusty hand mixer.
