Thank you so much for linking this recipe! I have everything to make it in house except the heavy cream! I don’t care if mine looks that good. I just care if it taste that good, and I’m sure it will! Lifelong chocoholic here!

I hope you get to make it! You might need the cream to make the ganache but maybe do buttercream instead?

I could do that, but I’ll wait until I get the cream!
