How long does it take to make Ganache?

For a whipped cream, chill about two hours and whip with a little more cream, carefully: overwhipping makes it split.

Step by Step

How to Tell It's Done

• until just about to boil and pour over the chocolate
• until you get a smooth, glossy cream

Tips

• Stir gently from the center outward: vigorous stirring beats in air, and the ganache loses its shine.

More Ways

• Dark chocolate and heavy cream 1:1 by weight; pour boiling cream over chopped chocolate and stir into a smooth cream.
