Chocolate Ganache

 

I could take a bath in this any day.  Use this ganache to coat cupcakes, cakes and serve over ice cream.

Chocolate Ganache

4 oz semi sweet or bitter sweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp 35 % cream (whipping cream)

1/2 tbsp butter

Directions

Chop your chocolate and place it in a glass bowl.  In a heavy bottomed pot, bring the cream to almost a boil and pour it over your chocolate.  Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before stirring.  Add the butter and stir until the ganache is glossy and smooth.
