Ingredients
- 2 cups dark chocolate 70% cocoa or more, broken into pieces
- 1 cup hot coffee or tea use decaf if preferred
Instructions
- Fill a medium bowl with ice and water to create an ice bath.
- Place the chocolate in a second medium-sized bowl. Pour the hot coffee or tea over the chocolate and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Set the bowl with melted chocolate over the ice bath. Whisk vigorously by hand or with a hand mixer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
