For a non-dairy alternative, use canned coconut milk. See recipe note.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pure Chocolate: <\/strong>You can use semi-sweet chocolate (recommended), bittersweet chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate. See recipe note.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When making homemade ganache, you need roughly a 1:1 weight ratio of cream to chocolate. <em>(226g of chocolate for 240g of cream.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that chocolate ganache is the base for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/homemade-chocolate-truffles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">chocolate truffles<\/a>? I actually use less cream when I make chocolate truffles. Instead of a 1:1 weight ratio, use 8 ounces of chocolate and 2\/3 cup (160ml\/g) cream for truffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"923\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/chocolate-ganache\/?tp_image_id=72257\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-2.jpg\" alt=\"2 images of chopped chocolate and cream in a glass measuring cup\" class=\"wp-image-72257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-2-500x385.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-2-600x462.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-2-150x115.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Chocolate to Use in Chocolate Ganache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The best chocolate for chocolate ganache is a pure chocolate baking bar, such as Bakers or Ghirardelli brands. <em>(Not sponsored, just a genuine customer!)<\/em> These are typically sold in 4-ounce (113g) bars in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. <strong>Do not use chocolate chips<\/strong> because they will not melt into the best ganache consistency\u2014save them for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\">chocolate chip cookies<\/a> instead. If you absolutely must use chocolate chips, make sure they are higher-quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli or Guittard brand semi-sweet chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For traditional chocolate ganache, I recommend using semi-sweet chocolate. This is the most commonly found chocolate in the baking aisle. Semi-sweet chocolate contains 35\u201345% cacao and is usually sweeter than bittersweet or dark varieties and darker than milk chocolate and white chocolate. If you like it a little darker, bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao) also makes an excellent ganache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TIP:<\/strong> The best tool for chopping chocolate is a large serrated knife. The grooves help chip away the hard chocolate bar texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/chocolate-ganache\/?tp_image_id=44223\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/baking-with-chocolate-5.jpg\" alt=\"chopped white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate on a cutting board\" class=\"wp-image-44223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/baking-with-chocolate-5.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/baking-with-chocolate-5-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/baking-with-chocolate-5-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/baking-with-chocolate-5-500x750.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Chocolate Ganache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place finely chopped chocolate into a heat-proof glass or metal bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat cream on the stovetop until just simmering. If it&#8217;s boiling, the cream is too hot and could separate or even burn the chocolate. Once you see little simmers around the edges, turn off the heat and immediately pour the warm cream over the chocolate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the 2 sit for a few minutes before stirring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir slowly until smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>After you stir the chocolate and warm cream together, use the ganache right away as a fruit dip or drizzle on top of cakes, cupcakes, pound cakes, ice cream, and more. But if you wait about 2 hours and let it cool completely, the ganache can be scooped with a spoon, spread onto desserts, or piped with piping tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/chocolate-ganache\/?tp_image_id=72259\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3.jpg\" alt=\"warm cream and chopped chocolate in a glass bowl\" class=\"wp-image-72259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3-425x638.jpg 425w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ganache-ingredients-3-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/chocolate-ganache\/?tp_image_id=72248\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3.jpg\" alt=\"chocolate ganache in a glass bowl\" class=\"wp-image-72248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3-850x1276.jpg 850w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3-425x638.jpg 425w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-3-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Piped Chocolate Ganache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re craving a pure chocolate topping for your desserts, choose chocolate ganache.

If the chocolate is in large large chunks, it won&#8217;t fully melt. And if the chocolate is not melting, reference Troubleshooting Chocolate Ganache below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pour the warm cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit before stirring.&nbsp;<\/strong>After you pour the warm heavy cream over the chopped chocolate, let it sit for a few minutes. During this time, the chocolate will soften and begin to melt which means that you won&#8217;t need to over-stir it. I&#8217;d rather spend extra minutes doing nothing than extra minutes stirring chocolate that won&#8217;t melt. Wouldn&#8217;t you?!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/chocolate-ganache\/?tp_image_id=72250\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache.jpg\" alt=\"thickened chocolate ganache on spoon\" class=\"wp-image-72250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-425x638.jpg 425w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chocolate-ganache-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting Chocolate Ganache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After writing an entire cookbook (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2FHUjCA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Sally&#8217;s Candy Addiction<\/a>) on chocolate and candy, I&#8217;ve seen it all when it comes to making chocolate ganache. Seized chocolate? Yep. Grainy ganache. Yep, that too. Here are 3 problems you could encounter and how to fix each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chocolate Isn&#8217;t Melting:&nbsp;<\/strong>If the chocolate isn&#8217;t melting, it wasn&#8217;t chopped fine enough or the cream wasn&#8217;t warm enough. Chop the chocolate into very small pieces and warm the cream until it&#8217;s just simmering. The microwave doesn&#8217;t evenly warm cream like the stove does, so I always recommend the stove. If you&#8217;re left with chocolate chunks swimming in cream, do not microwave it. Instead, place the mixture into a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3m5CntK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">double boiler<\/a> OR place the (heat-proof!) glass bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Do not let the surface of the simmering water touch the bottom of the glass bowl. Stir the ganache constantly over the indirect heat until it&#8217;s smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate Seized:&nbsp;<\/strong>When chocolate seizes, it creates a gritty and solid mass of chocolate. Simply put, seized chocolate will not melt. Chocolate seizes when it comes into contact with water. Don&#8217;t let even a drop of water into the bowl! Here is a wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/how-to-fix-overheated-or-burnt-chocolate-521579\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\">article on overheated and seized chocolate<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Greasy<\/strong> or<strong> Grainy: <\/strong>Use a glass or metal bowl. A plastic bowl could melt or leave you with a dull or grainy ganache. Use real chocolate; cheap chocolate chips result in a grainy ganache. Use a spoon or small rubber spatula to stir the chocolate and warm cream together. Do not use a whisk. The whisk incorporates too much air into the delicate melting chocolate, which could cause the fat to separate and turn greasy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"position:

Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer.\u00a0(Do not let it come to a rapid boil\u2014that\u2019s too hot!) Pour over chocolate, then let it sit for 2\u20133 minutes to gently soften the chocolate.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">With a metal spoon or small silicone spatula, very slowly stir until completely combined and chocolate has melted. The finer you chopped the chocolate, the quicker it will melt with the cream. If it&#8217;s not melting, do not microwave it. See Troubleshooting Chocolate Ganache in blog post above.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Ganache can be ready to use as a drizzle or you can let it sit at room temperature to cool and thicken. It will fully cool within 2 hours. Refrigerating speeds this up, but the ganache will not cool evenly. Stir it a few times as it sets in the refrigerator so it remains even and smooth.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Once completely cool and thick, the ganache can be piped with a piping tip or scooped with a spoon. You can also beat the cooled thickened ganache with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until light in color and texture, about 4 minutes on medium-high speed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Cover tightly and store ganache in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Once ganache cools completely, you can cover it tightly and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator. To rewarm or thin out again, stir constantly over low heat on the stove in either (1) a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3m5CntK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">double boiler<\/a> or (2) in a heat-proof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water.

You can use high-quality chocolate chips if needed (I prefer Ghirardelli or Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips), but I recommend using pure chocolate baking bars, in either semi-sweet or bittersweet. You can find them right next to the chocolate chips in the baking aisle. They are sold in 4-ounce (113g) bars. I like Bakers or Ghirardelli brands. You can use other varieties of chocolate too, such as milk chocolate (aka German chocolate) or dark chocolate. If using white chocolate, reduce the cream to 2\/3 cup (160ml). White chocolate is softer, so you need less cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Halve <\/strong>or <strong>Double:<\/strong> You can easily halve or double this recipe. No matter how much ganache you are making, you always need equal parts chocolate and cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dairy-Free Alternative for Heavy Cream:\u00a0<\/strong>Use full-fat canned coconut milk. Shake the can well before opening. Whisk on the stove as it heats and bring to a simmer. Measure 1 cup (8 ounces; 240ml). Use instead of warm heavy cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yield: <\/strong>Yields 1 and 1\/2 cups liquid\/drizzle\/scoop-able ganache. This is enough to cover 1 dozen cupcakes. For piped cupcakes, you may want to double the ganache to ensure there is plenty for piping. If whipping the ganache, you&#8217;ll have close to 3 cups.
