How To Make Chocolate Ganache
This easy chocolate ganache is rich, smooth, and perfectly glossy. Made with just chocolate and cream, it comes together in minutes and can be used as a silky glaze, decadent frosting, cake drip, or filling for cakes, cupcakes, and desserts.(This recipe makes enough ganache for an 8 inch diameter cake (about ¾ cup). Adjust quantities as needed for larger or smaller cakes).
Ingredients
- 100mls cream
- 100g chocolate use good quality chocolate (e.g. 50% cocoa solids)
Instructions
- In a glass bowl, combine chocolate and cream. Microwave on medium to high power for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Place back into the microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until the chocolate has melted, and a glossy PVA glue-like consistency appears.
- The chocolate ganache is ready to use once it is at room temperature (this takes 4-5 minutes)
Notes
* If your chocolate has seized, add more chocolate and reheat. Once it is glossy, add more cream until you reach a PVA glue-like consistency.
