When I made this, the melted cooled chocolated crystalised together, had big chunks of chocolate in the whipped cream.
I am not sure how that would happen unless the chocolate hadn't been fully melted with the butter and cream in the first place. It must be fully melted in the top of a double boiler and stirred to fully mix then cooled. Then it can't crystallize and form chunks as you say. It should be a sauce when it's cooled. Then you combine it with the other ingredients to blend.
