Cómo preparar Chocolate Ganache
Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Whisk gently until the ganache is smooth and glossy. If using, stir in your chosen liquor at this stage.
Let the ganache cool slightly to a spreadable consistency (about 30-45 minutes, depending on room temperature). It will thicken as it cools.
Once cooled, use the ganache to fill your cakes or tortes. Refrigerate any leftover ganache in an airtight container.
