  3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
  4. Whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. If the ganache is too thick, add a teaspoon of hot cream at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Let the ganache cool slightly before using. For a firmer ganache, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
