Additional Ingredients:

Instructions
- Carefully fragment the chocolate into uniform pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even melting.
- Utilize a double boiler or microwave method to gently liquefy the chocolate, employing careful, intermittent heating techniques.

- Once the chocolate reaches a completely molten state, incorporate coconut oil or butter to enhance the silky texture and create a more luxurious mouthfeel.
- Whisk the added fat thoroughly into the melted chocolate, ensuring a homogeneous blend that appears glossy and uniform.
- Continue stirring until the mixture develops a lustrous sheen and all ingredients are perfectly integrated, creating a refined chocolate base ready for further preparation.
Notes
- Choose high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for richer flavor and smoother melting.
- Break chocolate into uniform small pieces to ensure even and quick melting without burning.
- Use a double boiler or microwave with short intervals to maintain chocolate’s delicate texture and prevent scorching.
- Add a pinch of salt or small amount of coconut oil to enhance chocolate’s glossiness and create a more professional finish.
