Equipment

1 mixing bowl
1 Hand held whisk optional
1 Spatula

Ingredients

400 g dark chocolate chopped see notes
200 g heavy cream

Instructions

Add chocolate chunks to a large bowl.
Pour in double cream.
Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave and stir.
Repeat this step until the chocolate mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Continue to mix and allow the ganache to cool down then frost, fill and glaze your favorite desserts.

For Whipped Ganache

Continue from the previous step and leave the mixture to cool. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and make sure the plastic wrap is touching the ganache to prevent air bubbles.
Refrigerate ganache for 2 hours or leave to cool for 5-6 hours depending on the weather.
Then whisk for 2 minutes or until spreadable. Use to frost cakes or as desired.

Notes

Dark chocolate: Select dark chocolate with 60% cacao. This will give the ganache a smooth texture and rich chocolatey flavor. Dark chocolate with less cacao will taste more bitter.

Heating: Do not heat the ganache for longer than 30 seconds because this may cause the chocolate to burn. If your microwave has high heat, you may want to warm it for 20 seconds instead.

Heavy cream: Do not use low-fat cream as this will affect the texture of the ganache.
