Recipes
Rich Chocolate Ganache
1/2 Cup Heavy cream
8oz Milk Chocolate (chips)
1 oz (2 Tbs) unsalted butter softened
In a small saucepan, heat cream to a simmer. Place chocolate and butter in a bowl. Once cream is heated thoroughly, pour over chocolate and butter and let stand 1 minute. Mix together with spatula until creamy. If still lumpy, place in microwave for 20 seconds. Mixture might be too runny initially so let sit at room temp or refrigerate, stirring every so often until reaching the right consistency--essentially it won’t run off the macaron shell.
