Ingredients
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate such as ghiradelli, good quality
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Break chocolate into small pieces. The smaller you break or cut the chocolate, the quicker it will melt.
- Microwave cream until very hot, about 1 minute. Pour cream over chocolate and let stand 5 minutes to completely melt.
- Stir chocolate and cream together to create a completely smooth ganache. Use as desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If using as a glaze for a cake, consider increasing the heavy cream to 3/4-1 cup.
