Ingredients
1/2 Cup cream
150g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped – I use a 70% chocolate – Whittakers usually as its just yum
Combine cream and chocolate in a bowl and melt by placing a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water until chocolate completely melted and smooth, be sure not to let any water get into the bowl.
Depending on what you are using it for pop the Ganache into the fridge – stirring frequently – until you get the desired consistency for what you are using it for
Check out my latest recipe Awesome Rich Easy Chocolate Cake as the perfect accompaniment – add some fresh strawberries to cut through the richness and it makes a lovely cake for any occasion. Fancy and frou frou it up as much or as little as you like.

The ratios of cream to chocolate vary depending on the chocolate you use. Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate require different ratios.
