Notes

Make sure to use whipping cream and not heavy whipping cream. Heavy whipping cream has more fat, and can make the dessert too heavy tasting.
When choosing a chocolate for this recipe, make sure it's a dark chocolate with 60% or more cacao. I like to use this brand for baking.
Wait just until serving before topping with powdered sugar and fresh fruit. If you do it in advance, the powdered sugar may "melt" and it just won't look as pretty.
