Ingredients

Servings
  • 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips may use all semi sweet or milk chocolate
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 Tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. In a microwave safe bowl, pour in chocolate chips and whipping cream.
  2. Heat in 30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring well between heatings. (Should only take about 60-90 seconds)
  3. Once melted and smooth and thoroughly combined, place in butter and stir until melted and smooth.
  4. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, use as desired.
  5. For a thicker, more spreadable ganache, allow to cool, it will thicken as it cools. Try 15-20 minutes on the counter, if not thick enough, place in fridge or freezer for 10 minutes.
  6. Ganache may also be whipped with a mixer after cooling making it pipeable and spreadable for cakes, cupcakes.

Notes

  • Recipe may be cut in half if a small amount of ganache is needed.
