You can use chocolate chips, also you can really use anything!. I've even used skim milk!.!.!.not as rich obviously but it works!

I suggest just boiling the whipping cream/heavy cream/milk whatevever you decide to use then remove from heat and slowly add the chocolate and constantly stir to smooth it!.

Since chocolate burns really easy I've always found this to be a fool proof way to make it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't eat the cake, I just lick the icing off!.

Pretty wierd, huh!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
