  • Starting in the middle of the bowl, slowly start stirring the chocolate and cream until all of the chocolate is melted the cream disappeared into it – it should be smooth.

Notes

See post for variations and dipper suggestions.
I do NOT recommend using a double boiler for making any kind of ganache.
