1/2 c. heavy or whipping cream
1/4 lb. chopped chocolate or 2/3 c. (4 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips

A rich sating glaze as cake or cookie glaze, dessert topping or fruit dip (especially good with ripe strawberries).

Place cream in 2 cup microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes, or until cream starts to boil. Stir in chocolate, shaking the bowl to immerse all in the hot cream. Let stand 1 minute then whisk until smooth and free of lumps. Use hot as topping for ice cream and cake. Or cool to room temperature for glazing or dipping. Store leftovers in refrigerator. Reheat on defrost or low power to re-liquify.
