A silky chocolate ganache is one of life’s simple pleasures — but achieving it takes more than just chocolate and cream. The quality of your chocolate and the temperature of your cream can make or break the texture.

Start with high-quality chocolate (70% cocoa solids is a great choice) and gently heat your cream until it’s just about to simmer. Pour it over chopped chocolate, let it sit for a moment, then stir slowly until smooth.

For an extra shine, add a touch of butter at the end. Use your ganache as a glaze, a filling, or just eat it with a spoon — we won’t judge.
