Preparation

Step 1

Scald the cream; while barely simmering, stir in the corn syrup and butter, just until melted.
Turn off heat. Stir in chocolate and cocoa powder, leaving (about 5 minutes) until chocolate has melted. Stir gently until smooth.
Refrigerate for 2 or 3 hours, stirring occasionally until mixture is of a spreadable consistency.
