Pour hot cream over the chopped chocolate and allow to sit for one minute to soften the chocolate. Immediately start stirring the chocolate until it's completely melted with the cream. Place bowl in refrigerator and allow to cool for just 30 minute until it's cooled but not solid, you need to be able to stir it.
