Method
1
Prepare your workspace by setting out a heatproof bowl and ensuring all equipment is clean and dry, as any moisture can affect the chocolate confection's texture.
2 minutes
2
Bring the water to a full rolling boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and allow it to rest for approximately 30 seconds to slightly reduce the temperature.
5 minutes
3
Pour the boiling water slowly into the heatproof bowl, creating the base liquid for the confection mixture.
1 minutes
4
Gently warm the cream in a separate small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to steam, being careful not to let it boil or scorch.
4 minutes

Slowly combine the warmed cream with the hot water base, stirring continuously in a slow circular motion to achieve a smooth, unified mixture.
2 minutes
