Gather @dark chocolate{150%g} and @heavy cream{50%ml}.

Heat the @milk{400%ml} and cream in a small saucepan until steaming but not boiling.

Take the pan off the heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate until completely melted.

Return to the lowest heat and whisk 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened and velvety. ~{4%minutes}

Taste, then add @sugar{1%tbsp} and the tiniest pinch of @salt{} — salt sharpens the chocolate.

Pour into small cups and serve at once; in Paris it comes with a glass of water and no apology.
