Quick Note

Chocolate – I used dark chocolate for this recipe but you can use semi sweet chocolate. It is your choice.

Eggs – use large, organic eggs (say hello to your local farmers market). Be sure the eggs are room temperature.

Heavy Cream – I used 35%. (also you can use 33%)

Flour – I used all purpose flour, unbleached.

Alcohol – use what you like. I used Espresso Vodka from the local supplier and rum. You can use jack daniels products, Irish whiskey, your favorite vodka.

Unsalted butter – I use organic, unsalted butter. It is expensive and you don’t have to use it. You can use your favorite brand. Be sure you are using the unsalted butter room temperature.
