Method:

  1. Place the chocolate in the microwavable bowl and fully melt.
  2. Lightly stir the butter into the melted chocolate.
  3. Next, in a microwavable container, warm the heavy cream and add the ground coffee.  Infuse the mixture for roughly 5 minutes or until the cream has a distinct coffee flavor.
  4. Pour the mixture through the fine sieve into a clean microwavable container.  Add the trimoline and vanilla paste to the infused cream.
