I suggest using 53% chocolate mass. If you use chocolate with a higher cocoa content, then you might need to use more cream.

Prepare the chocolate glaze:

• Boil the cream and take it off the heat.
• Pour 3/4 of the cream on top of the chocolate.
• Allow the chocolate to melt for 5 minutes and then add the rest of the cream.
• Gently mix the mixture to avoid the building of air bubbles.
• For extra smooth glaze, pass the chocolate mixture through a fine strainer, add the optional cognac and allow to cool before applying.
