Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Using a serrated knife, coarsely chop the chocolate to 1/4-1/2 inch pieces. Transfer the chocolate to a heat-proof glass or metal bowl.
- Bring the heavy cream to a simmer around the edges but not boiling on the stovetop then pour it over the chocolate.
- Allow the cream and chocolate to sit for a few minutes.
- Using a spatula then mix until smooth and allow it to cool to room temperature to thicken before using.
Notes
Ganache can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or stored in the freezer for no more than 3 months. To do so, allow the ganache to completely cool, then transfer it to a resealable container and tuck it away.
When you want to use the ganache, thaw it overnight in the fridge. It will still be pretty hard, so you’ll need to leave it in a warm place for a couple hours, or you can warm it gently in the microwave. Heat in a microwave-safe bowl in 10 second increments, stirring in between.
Do not re-freeze ganache! If ganache has been thawed, it should be eaten within a week.
