MICROWAVEABLE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
No double boiler needed! Use it for icing or filling a cake, or to make truffles. Recipes vary slightly so I wanted to post my go-to ganache so I can find it every time. And you can easily double or triple this one. My basic ganache uses a 2:1 ratio of dark chocolate to heavy cream, 3:1 ratio of white chocolate to heavy cream, somewhere in between for milk chocolate. Those measurements don't translate perfectly in a measuring cup so the 2:1 ratio is below (most common) The better the chocolate the richer the ganache. I love mixing semi-sweet with bittersweet. At room temperature it's a perfect truffle consistency. It can be flavored with extracts or liquers. Hazelnut extract makes it so yummy! Grand Marnier would be good too, but is delicious plain.

Steps:
- Put chocolate in a glass bowl. If I am intending to make a pourable ganache I use a 2°C pyrex measuring cup, then I can pour straight from it.

- Microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until chocolate starts to melt. Then stir, stir, stir until all the lumps are gone and it's smooth and shiny.
- Add flavorings if desired.
- Cool to desired consistency.
- Room temp and pourable is used to drizzle over cakes. Room temp and peanut butter consistency is used as a filling or icing. Chill it for a few hours to scoop out truffle balls or whip it with a chilled beater to make a whipped ganache, also for filling or icing.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the ganache. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Chop the chocolate finely. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
- Use heavy cream. This will give the ganache a rich, creamy texture.
- Heat the cream gently. Do not boil it, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Add the chocolate to the cream in three additions. This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Stir the ganache constantly. This will help to ensure that it is smooth and lump-free.
- Let the ganache cool slightly before using. This will help it to thicken and set.
Conclusion:
Chocolate ganache is a versatile ingredient that can be used to make a variety of desserts, from cakes and pies to mousses and truffles. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking by adding different flavors, such as vanilla, coffee, or liqueur. With a little practice, you can make perfect chocolate ganache every time.
