Ingredients

  • 8 ounces good quality white or dark chocolate
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. Make an ice-water bath; set aside. Using a sharp, heavy serrated knife or a chocolate chopper, finely chop the chocolate. It's important to chop it finely so that it melts quickly. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  2. Bring heavy cream just to a boil, and pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  3. Place the bowl over ice-water bath, and use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture vigorously until it reaches the desired thickness or consistency, about 5 minutes.

    I agree, I tried the recipe with white chocolate and it was too soft

    this recipe ended up making my ganache a little too soft.
    However, this could have been a mistake on my part.
