Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles form at the edge, then remove it from the heat. Do not let it boil.
  2. Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over it and let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Whisk gently from the center outward until completely smooth and glossy.
  3. Cool the ganache at room temperature, stirring every 10 minutes, until it thickens to a spreadable consistency, about 30 to 45 minutes. Spread over your cake, cupcakes, or brownies right away.

Notes

Cooling time is not included in prep or cook numbers. To speed up cooling, refrigerate the bowl for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times. If the ganache gets too firm, warm it gently over a pan of barely simmering water.
