    Chocolate Ganache is such a versatile recipe, you can use it for cupcakes, chocolate-covered strawberries, and many many more.  When I first started uploading video tutorials on YouTube, I didn’t realize how important thumbnails were and pictures, so bear with me, but don’t let this picture be the judge of how GREAT the Chocolate Ganache is!

    Tips on How to Make Chocolate Ganache:

    • Make sure that your heavy cream has already reached the boiling point. It helps to melt the chocolate faster when it is at the correct temperature.
    • You can make this ahead and keep in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator.
    • If you do not have bittersweet chocolate chips, you can use the bar version instead and just chop it finely.

    How to Make Chocolate Ganache:

    Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:

    • bittersweet chocolate, chopped
    • heavy cream
