Share:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate chips1
- 1/2 cup heavy cream²
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl.
- Heat the cream over low heat until just simmering. Do not boil.
- Remove cream from heat and pour over chocolate chips.
- Place a piece of aluminum foil over the bowl and seal.
- Let the cream/chocolate chips sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
- Remove the foil.
- Stir until the chocolate chips have melted and mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Let the ganache sit, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to set up before using.
Notes
- Chocolate: Using a quality chocolate chip makes a difference. Some cheap chocolate chips are made with extra fillers and binders that keep them from melting properly.
- Heavy cream: Please do NOT substitute half-and-half. It will give you a thinner, runny ganache.
