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.
- Pour cream over top.
- 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.
