Classic Chocolate Ganache

Ingredients

• •8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
• •1 cup heavy cream
• •2 tablespoons butter
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •1 pinch salt

Directions

1. 1Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam, about 3-4 minutes.
2. 2Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl.
3. 3Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and butter, then let sit for 1 minute without stirring.
4. 4Whisk the mixture gently until smooth and glossy, then stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
5. 5Use immediately as a glaze while warm and pourable, or let cool to desired consistency for spreading or piping.

💡 Ganache texture depends on the chocolate-to-cream ratio and gentle mixing. Stir from the centre outward rather than whipping in air.
