Basic Chocolate Glaze

Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (227 g) chopped dark chocolate (I use 60%)
  • 3/4 cup (181 g) heavy cream
  • Note: For milk chocolate glaze, use 1/2 cup (121 g) heavy cream. For white chocolate glaze, use 1/3 cup (80 g) heavy cream.

Instructions

  1. Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 15 seconds undisturbed, then stir, beginning in the center of the bowl with small circular motions and widening the circles until the ingredients are uniformly combined and the ganache is smooth.
  3. Let the ganache cool slightly before using. If you make it ahead, you'll need to gently warm the ganache (over a double-boiler is best).
