Ingredients

  • 230 g/8 oz. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (, finely chopped)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1-3 teaspoons alcohol such as brandy or liquor of your choice (, optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring cream just to a boil. Immediately pour cream over chocolate and let sit without stirring for 1-2 minutes. Then, whisk mixture gently until completely melted and smooth. Add alcohol, if using, and whisk to combine.

  2. 2

    Ganache can be kept in the fridge, covered, for up to a week. Reheat gently (to avoid burning) in the microwave.
