Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped high-quality chocolate)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Measure 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips or chop high-quality chocolate into small uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let the cream boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and promptly pour the hot cream over the prepared chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow the heat from the cream to melt the chocolate.
Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir the mixture in small circles starting from the center, gradually working your way outward until the ganache is completely smooth and glossy.
Let the ganache cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature if using as a glaze, or let it cool further to room temperature and thicken slightly for spreading or piping.
Use immediately for desserts or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in short 10-second increments if needed.
