How To Make Chocolate Ganache

Introduction

Chocolate ganache is a simple chocolate sauce that can be used in all sorts of recipes, from cakes to donuts. It’s also great on its own—just drizzle it over ice cream or cake! Here’s how to make it:

• Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
• Heat it over a double boiler or in the microwave until melted, stirring frequently to ensure even heating.
• Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before using.*

Heat the cream until it is just about to boil.

The first step is to heat the cream until it is just about to boil. By heating the cream, you are creating a rich texture that will give your ganache the right consistency. You do not want to let it boil or cool too much, as both of these situations can affect your chocolate’s quality and texture.

You want to bring your cream up to just below boiling point, but not overheat it. If you do this correctly, you will see tiny bubbles forming on top of the surface; this means that all of the fat has melted into liquid form and will help create a smooth ganache when mixed with chocolate later on.
