  • Category: Cooking Tutorial
  • Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

  • 1-¼ cup (227 grams) chopped chocolate or high-quality chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (227 grams) heavy cream
  • pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a metal bowl, combine the chocolate and salt (if using).
  2. Heat the cream in a small saucepan on the stovetop until just simmering around the edges.
  3. Pour the cream over the chocolate, making sure the chocolate is completely submerged. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes without disturbing it.
  4. Gently stir the cream into the chocolate until it is fully combined, resulting in a shiny, silky chocolate ganache.

Notes

The ganache will be runny while it is still hot, and will thicken to a scoopable consistency as it cools.

For a twist on chocolate ganache and to make it dairy-free, use full-fat canned coconut milk in place of the heavy cream.
