Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Finely chop the white chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure smooth melting. Use a sharp knife and work on a clean cutting board.
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a clean, dry heat-safe bowl. Ensure no water or moisture comes into contact with the chocolate to prevent seizing.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Small bubbles should form around the edges, but do not let the cream boil.
- Remove the hot cream from heat and immediately pour it over the chopped white chocolate. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to start melting.
- Gently whisk the cream and chocolate together until completely smooth and fully incorporated. Use a circular motion to create a uniform, glossy mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract and whisk again to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the cream filling.
- Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The filling will begin to thicken as it cools.
- Once cooled and slightly thickened, transfer the filling to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- Before use, let the filling sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, making it easier to spread or pipe.
Tips
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smoothest texture. Avoid using chocolate chips, as they often contain stabilizers that can affect melting.
- When heating cream, watch it carefully and remove from heat just as small bubbles form around the edges to prevent scorching.
- Ensure all utensils and bowls are completely dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing or becoming grainy.
- Whisk gently and consistently to create a smooth, glossy mixture without incorporating too many air bubbles.
- If the filling seems too thick after cooling, you can gently warm it for a few seconds in the microwave or add a tiny amount of warm cream to adjust consistency.
- For best results, use a digital kitchen scale to measure ingredients precisely, especially the chocolate and cream.
- Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, allowing it to come to room temperature before use.
