To make the frosting, place the chocolate in a large heat-resistant mixing bowl. Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the cream over the chocolate and gently move the bowl to allow the cream to settle. Set the mixture aside for 4 minutes to soften. Whisk until completely smooth. Wrap plastic wrap around the frosting's surface. Set aside for about 2 hours to settle at room temperature.
