Maggiano's Little Italy Chocolate Zuccotto Filling Recipe

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: Italian

Keyword: Chocolate, Maggiano's Little Italy

Ingredients

• 12 ounces Bittersweet Chocolate
• 3/4 cup Sambucca Samballa
• 1/2 quart Heavy Cream

Instructions

• Melt chocolate using a double broiler or in the microwave. Set aside and keep warm.
• Pour Sambucca and 1/2 of cream into a large mixer with a whip attachment. Whip for 2 - 2 1/2 minutes on speed 3. You want to "under whip" the cream - no peaks and cream just begins to stick to sides of bowl.
• Pour still hot chocolate quickly into the mixer.
• Still on speed 3, whip until incorporated. Scrape bottom and sides.
• Add remaining cream. Whip until incorporated on speed 2 for approximately 30 seconds. Scrape sides and whip on speed 3 for 1 minute. Do not overwhip cream and chocolate.
• Use immediately or fairly soon after making for best results.
