How to Make White Chocolate Ganache

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Watch carefully to prevent scorching.
  2. While the cream simmers, finely chop the white chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
  3. Once the cream is simmering, carefully pour it over the chopped white chocolate.
  4. Let the mixture stand for 10 seconds to allow the chocolate to soften.
  5. Gently whisk the ganache until it is completely smooth and glossy. If necessary, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  6. Allow the ganache to cool for 5-10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly to a spreadable consistency. This prevents it from melting any frosting or cake layers beneath.
