DORIE GREENSPAN'S CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM

Ingredients:
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups heavy cream
2-3 tablespoons sugar, to taste

IN A HEATPROOF BOWL large enough to use for whipping the cream, place the chocolate.

STIR THE CREAM AND SUGAR together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the cream over the chocolate. With a whisk, beat the chocolate and cream together vigorously - you want to make sure you've got a smooth mixture.

COVER the cream once it is cool to protect it from foods with strong odors and REFRIGERATE for 24 hours. With a whisk or electric hand mixer beat the cream until it is almost thick; this will happen quickly so pay attention! You want the cream to be just firm enough to spread but not so firm that it loses its lightness and creaminess. The cream is ready to use as soon as it is whipped. It can be covered and refrigerated for 3 hours.

***This chocolate whipped cream is absolutely sinful. It is thick and creamy like a mousse, sweet and oh, so chocolately rich. You will be tempted to eat it straight from the bowl with a big spoon as if it were calling your name in a seductive whisper. Don't say you haven't been warned!
