Steps
1
Place chocolate into a glass or metal mixing bowl. If using chocolate bars, roughly chop the chocolate into small chocolate chip-sized pieces.
2
Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Once simmering, immediately remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate.
3
Let sit 2 to 3 minutes to allow the heat from the cream to melt the chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth. Use as desired.
4
Follow the steps to create a basic ganache. Once the cream and chocolate are combined and smooth, cover, and chill the ganache in the fridge for 1 hour.
5
Remove ganache from the fridge. Use a hand mixer to whip the ganache until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use as desired.
