Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I combine the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. The moment the ingredients touch the warm pan, I whisk them together as they start to melt—chocolate melting is one of the most delightful sights in the kitchen! Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and silky, making sure to scrape down the sides of the saucepan to incorporate every morsel. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
