1. In a double boiler (or in the microwave using a microwave-proof bowl) meal chocolate chips and whipping cream together and stir until smooth.

2. Place into a bowl and let cool in the fridge for 1 hour or until you can spoon some out and it keeps it's form. (see photo)

3. Place in your stand mixer, add vanilla extract and using the whisk attachment, whip until stiff. It should take 4-5 minutes. Taste. If you want it a little sweeter, (because it is quite rich) you may want to add a little powdered sugar.

4. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with fresh fruit to really impress.
