Title: Chocolate 11

rec.food.recipes archive

8 oz. bittersweet couverture chocolate
 8 tbsp butter
  
 Couverture is chocolate with a high proportion of cocoa butter.
 Break the chocolate into small pieces and cut the butter into
 chunks. Place both in a double boiler. Melt slowly and stir until
 fully mixed. Prepare a bowl with *very* cold water and set the
 boiler insert in it. Working quickly, stir the mixture round in
 the pot, pulling some up the sides. When the frosting on the sides
 just begins to solidify, incorporate it back into the chocolate at
 the bottom of the pot and immediately pull the pot out of the cold
 water. The frosting will be ready to spread at this point.
