- 8 Oz whipping cream (1 cup)
- 6 Oz milk chocolate chips (1 cup)
- 3.5 Oz semi sweet chips (scant 2/3 cup)
- Pour the cream in a glass bowl or measuring cup.
- Warm the cream in the microwave for a little over a minute-until it is hot-even boiling. Sometimes a “skin” forms over the cream and that’s okay.
- In the meantime, place the chocolate into the blender or food processor. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and put the lid on the blender.
- Let the mixture sit for about 3 minutes.
- Blend the mixture on low then medium speed until the mixture is smooth. Pour into a bowl.
- Allow ganache cool at room temperature for several hours for frosting consistency.
- To use ganache as a glaze, place desired amount of ganache in a glass measuring cup and microwave on 50% power, stirring every 15 seconds, until it pours from a spoon.
Store for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Treats drizzled with ganache usually get eaten within a day or 2 so they do not necessarily need to be refrigerated.
