Method

  1. Break the chocolate into squares and put in the Medium Dualit Bowl, fitted with its Chopping Blade.
  2. With the motor running, continue to chop the chocolate until almost a powder. It may start to melt, but don't worry about it.
  3. Bring the cream to the boil in a medium sized pan. Allow it to rise up but not boil over.
  4. Off the heat, scrape the chocolate into the cream and immediately stir well with a small whisk until dark and glossy.
  5. Add the brandy or coffee, to taste.
  6. Stir before serving. Serve warm or cool.
