🍫 Basic Chocolate Ganache
Smooth, rich, and deeply chocolatey—this two-ingredient classic is your go-to for cakes, tarts, and truffles. Warm or chilled, whipped or poured, it never fails.
📝 Ingredients
200 g good-quality dark chocolate (50–70% cacao), finely chopped
200 ml heavy cream (min. 35% fat)
🍳 Instructions
1. Heat the cream
In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium-low until just about to boil—bubbles should form around the edges, but don’t let it fully boil.
2. Pour over the chocolate
Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let sit 1–2 minutes to soften.
3. Stir gently
Stir slowly from the center outward until the mixture turns glossy, smooth, and fully blended.
🍰 Use it your way
Pour it warm over cakes or tarts for a shiny glaze.
Chill it slightly for thick spreading between layers.
Whip it cold for a fluffy chocolate mousse-like texture.
🌿 Kuisit Tip
For extra richness, add 20 g of butter with the cream. For a vegan version, use full-fat coconut milk and dairy-free dark chocolate. Want it less intense? Use 50% milk chocolate instead.
