The Best Chocolate Ganache Recipe

Step 1

*Note* using a scale is recommended for accuracy and to ensure your ganache turns out.

Step 2

Weigh out your chocolate in a heat proof bowl

Step 3

Heat cream in a sauce pan until steam starts to rise from the surface but isn't boiling yet.

Step 4

Pour hot cream over the chocolate, push the chocolate down so that it's all under the surface of the cream and let it set for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add salt and vanilla and whisk everything together until it's smooth. If any lumps remain, put the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds and whisk again. If you have an immersion blender you can use it to remove any remaining lumps as well for a super cream ganache

Step 6

Ganache can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 week for frozen for up to 6 months.
