Ingredients

1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
0.25 cup Heavy cream
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.

Step 2

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the heavy cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 3

Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Step 4

Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir the mixture until it is smooth and glossy.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully combined.

Step 6

Allow the filling to cool and thicken at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or speed up the process by refrigerating it for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Once the filling has reached a thick but spreadable consistency, it is ready to be used in your hamentashen dough.
