Ingredients

Makes enough to cover 12 to 14 cupcakes

　　2 3/4 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips

　　2 cups heavy cream

　　1 tsp unsalted butter

　　

Step 1

1 Put the chocolate chips in a large heatproof bowl. Bring the cream to a boil in a medium saucepan.

　　

Step 2

2 Just before the cream comes to a full boil, pour the cream into the chocolate chips and whisk together until smooth.
