Ingredients
  

Dark Chocolate

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8.8 oz. (250 grams) dark chocolate

Milk Chocolate

  • cup (167 ml) heavy cream
  • 8.8 oz. (250 grams) milk chocolate

White Chocolate

  • ½ cup (125 ml) heavy cream
  • 8.8 oz. (250 grams) white chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Start by pouring the heavy cream into a small saucepan and heat over low-medium heat until it gently starts to boil.
  • In the meantime, chop up your preferred chocolate bar and place it in a small bowl. After the heavy cream is warmed up, gently pour the cream over the top of the chocolate.
  • After the heavy cream is warmed up, gently pour the cream over the top of the chocolate.
  • Let it sit for about a minute or so to start softening the chocolate.
  • Stir the chocolate cream mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and you are left with a smooth ganache.
  • Serve the chocolate ganache on cakes, mousse, etc. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don't want to chop up a chocolate bar, use chocolate chips instead. 
  • Do not let the heavy cream come to a rolling boil. It can cause the cream to curdle, and it will not result in a smooth ganache.
