Instructions
- Break the chocolate into even pieces so it melts evenly.
- Bring the crème fraîche and milk to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over low heat, without letting it boil.
- Remove from the heat and pour the hot liquid over the chocolate, then leave it to sit for 1 minute.
- Gently stir with a spatula, starting from the centre, until you have a smooth, glossy ganache.
- Add the icing sugar and the pinch of salt, then stir again.
- Pour into four small pots or dishes and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
- When serving, sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts if using.
Variations and tips
Swiss chocolate mousse. Whip the cream into chantilly and fold it gently into the lukewarm ganache for a light, airy texture.
