How to Make Mexican Chocolate Ganache
- Combine 1 cup heavy cream, 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir vigorously to combine.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. (This may take 1-2 minutes total).
- Remove from microwave and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, to allow the ganache to thicken. (This will take approximately 30-45 minutes).
- Once cooled, use as a cake frosting, dessert filling, or simply enjoy with your favorite bread for a truly authentic experience!
