Chocolate Cream (Classic Recipe)
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This cream turns out light and delicate, yet holds its shape well, making it perfect for cake decoration. I should note that it's best to use high-quality dark chocolate with a minimum cocoa content of 57%, and the powdered sugar should not contain starch. Enjoy cooking! Serve chilled.
