How to Make Chocolate Ganache

Chocolate ganache is a rich and glossy mixture of chocolate and cream. It is a staple in both professional and home kitchens due to its versatility and luscious texture. Ganache can be used in a variety of desserts, including cakes, truffles, tarts, and pastries.

Basic Recipe

The classic chocolate ganache is made with just two ingredients: chocolate and heavy cream. The standard ratio for making ganache is typically 1:1 by weight, but this can be adjusted depending on the desired consistency.

8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate – chopped
1 TBS butter
1 cup heavy cream

Place the chocolate and the butter into a bowl. Bring the cream to an almost boil – when you start seeing little bubbles you are done. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and butter. Let it sit for a couple of minutes – untouched.

Whisk the chocolate and cream until it turns even and smooth.
