Now pour half the milk into the chocolate and stir well to incorporate. Repeat adding the remaining milk and stir well until fully incorporated. Place to one side to allow to cool to 35-40°c.

Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold one third of the cream in to the cooled chocolate mix. Next add one more third, gently incorporating to the mix and finally add the remainder of the cream.
