Chocolate Ganache: How-To

  • Add the chocolate nibs/buttons to a heat-proof bowl.
  • Bring the cream to the boil (just about) over a medium heat and then pour it over the chocolate.
  • Leave the chocolate to melt in the heat of the cream, stirring occasionally.
  • If the cream cools before the chocolate is fully melted, place the bowl in the microwave and give it a few pulses of heat to melt the remainder.
  • The ganache will set as it cools to a spreadable consistency ideal for ganaching your cakes.
  • If you’re not using it immediately, refrigerate until it’s needed. Then pulse in the microwave for 5 second intervals to bring it back to spreadable consistency.
