Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream

  1. To prepare the chocolate mixture: To a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, add cream and bring to a simmer. Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and pour hot cream over the chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. To prepare the ganache: Slowly stir the chocolate mixture with a silicone spatula to combine. Add butter and salt; whisk until smooth. Let cool, stirring every 10 minutes until firm but still pliable for piping.
