This is a lovely chocolate ganache and perfect for French Macarons. It will continue thickening as it sits on the counter. At first, I did not think it would thicken because it was still thin after it cooled. Do not lose heart as it will thicken to an excellent consistency with a little time. Once it is thick, you can even use a handheld mixer to whip it to a slightly fluffier consistency if you like.

Ohlalerouge-- The longer you allow the ganache to set up, the thicker it becomes. Soon it will become very thick and harden until it is the same consistency of a regular macaron's filling . This ganache tastes really good with the macoron recipe. Hope this helped!

This is not a recipe for macaron filling, it's not thick enough. Maybe if you chill it then use it?

Super easy and tasty recipe..! Love it..

This recipe calls for too much cream, I found that half the amount is sufficient to create the perfect ganache for filling french macarons

Just do what the directions say. Heat the cream in a saucepan until it's almost boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate that you should have sitting in a bowl. Let sit for 2 min. Add butter and wisk.

Recipe is a bit confusing as to how to heat what. Says pour hot cream over chocolate?
