Method
1
Warm the cream in a pan on a low heat, taking care to ensure it doesn’t boil.
2
Remove from the heat and add the chocolate pieces. Leave for 2 minutes before using a spoon to stir in the chocolate, creating a custard texture.
3
Cool the mixture in the fridge, stirring occasionally, but do not let it set.
4
Once cooled, mix with a hand mixer until the chocolate cream has a thick consistency and will hold firm when piped.
5
Spoon a little at a time into a piping bag with a large drop flower icing nozzle.
6
Pipe the chocolate cream onto the top of each shortbread.
7
Sprinkle with edible glitter or chocolate sprinkles and leave to set before serving.
