How Do You Make Ganache Silky Smooth Chocolate Recipe

Instructions:

1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Bring just to a simmer (small bubbles around the edges – not boiling!).
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate.
4. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 1 minute. This allows the heat of the cream to melt the chocolate.
5. Gently whisk the cream and melted chocolate together, starting from the centre and working your way outwards. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
6. If using, whisk in the softened butter until fully incorporated and the ganache is even more glossy.
7. Use immediately while warm for glazing, or allow to cool and thicken for filling or truffles. For truffles, chill in the refrigerator until firm enough to roll. This guide shows you how do you make ganache perfectly.
