Once your chocolate has melted whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy carefully add this to your milk and cream whisking constantly until it comes to the boil.

Fill a saucepan with water, then place a heatproof bowl over the top ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate in the bowl as the water heats, be careful not to burn your chocolate.
