Place the finely chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges — do not let it boil. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute, then whisk gently from the center outward until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
