Chocolate Ganache

Prep time:
5 mins
Cook time:
5 mins + standing
Makes:
4 cups
  • 500ml cream
  • 500g best quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped

Pour the cream into a medium pot and heat it until it is almost but not quite boiling. You’ll know it’s ready when bubbles start to form around the edge of the pot. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Stand for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted into the cream. Whisk until smooth and glossy. When you start to stir it, you think it won’t come together, but it will.

If you’re not using the ganache straight away, store it in a jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. When you’re ready to serve it, gently warm in a pot or microwave to soften.

Really Great, so easy to make and the whole Family loved it!

I avoid cream as i don't really like it, would this work with ricotta or mascaponi?

Jenny, I don't really like cream either but I couldn't taste it over the chocolate!

I made this recipe today with Lindt 85% dark chocolate. Is it able to be made with milk chocolate? As I found the dark chocolate far to strong
