Description
This simple chocolate ganache is perfect for glazing cakes, filling pastries, or just enjoying as a rich, creamy chocolate dip. With just two ingredients, it’s a foolproof recipe that can be made in minutes!
Ingredients
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
-
1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
-
Heat the Cream:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not bring it to a boil—just enough to heat it up. -
Pour Over Chocolate:
Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Once the cream is heated, pour it over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate. -
Stir Until Smooth:
After the chocolate has softened, stir the mixture gently until it becomes smooth and glossy. -
Use or Cool:
You can either use the ganache immediately as a glaze or let it cool for a thicker consistency, perfect for spreading or filling.
Notes
-
Make it Thicker or Thinner: To adjust the consistency, simply change the ratio of cream to chocolate. For a thicker ganache, use more chocolate chips. For a thinner ganache, add more cream.
-
Flavors: Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt, vanilla extract, or even a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier for extra flavor.
