This is the first and the best ganache I've made yet. I don't think I will ever stray from this recipe.

  • Combine cream and sugar in a small saucepan and bring over medium heat. Just as mixture starts to boil, pour it over chocolate and whisk until combined and chocolate has melted. Stir in butter. Set aside to cool and thicken, at least 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Use less cream if you want it a bit thicker. This consistency is great for a cake but for cupcakes, I would use about 1/2 cup of cream instead.

This recipe served well as a pretty much unrevised standard base for my milk chocolate ganache. Differences: I used the chocolate I had on hand - Bakers semisweet (4 oz), FOUR squares of Aldi's brand milk chocolate candy bar (blue wrapper), and Aldi's brand milk chocolate chips to make up the remaining 4 oz. of chocolate (I use a digital kitchen scale) I added 1.5 tsp of instant clear jel (mixed into the sugar before heating) to thicken the ganache. Instant clear jel is a standard tool for thickening any dish I make. I added a dash of salt. I will save this recipe to my cookbook. It was sweet, not bitter, and a good consistency. Adding the butter at the end increases the smoothness of the ganache. Read More
