    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and heavy cream. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until melted and smooth.

    Chill the Mixture

    Transfer the chocolate mixture to a serving dish or individual cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

    Once set, serve the chocolate dessert topped with fresh berries and optionally garnish with edible flowers.
