How to Make Heavenly Chocolate Ganache

  1. Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer around the edges (do not boil).
  2. Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot cream over 8 ounces of finely chopped high-quality dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
  4. Gently whisk the ganache until smooth and glossy, ensuring all the chocolate is melted and incorporated. If needed, very briefly return to low heat while whisking to melt any stubborn chocolate pieces.
  5. Let cool slightly before using. The ganache will thicken as it cools.
