Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 fluid ounces Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the low-fat milk over medium heat until it begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.
Pour the heated milk over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Gently stir the mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature. For a thicker consistency, let it sit longer or refrigerate until it's at the desired thickness.
Use immediately to glaze cakes or pastries, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
