Instructions
Melt your chocolate and whipping cream together in a thick pot on the stove over medium-low heat.
Beat the egg yolks until creamy yellow.
Add some of the warm chocolate mixture to the egg yolks to temper them, mixing quickly and thoroughly.

Cook over medium-low heat for another 4-5 minutes until the mixture has thickened.
