Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Milk Chocolate (40%) | 500g |
| Fresh Liquid Cream | 250g |
| Butter | 70g |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cream Mixture: Begin by pouring the fresh cream into a small saucepan over low heat. Stir vigorously to combine, and gradually add the cream in three separate stages. As each portion of cream absorbs, continue adding more. It’s essential to keep the remaining cream warm on the lowest heat setting, ensuring the mixture remains smooth throughout.
-
Incorporate the Chocolate: Once the cream is incorporated and the mixture is silky and uniform, chop the milk chocolate into small pieces. Slowly add the chocolate to the saucepan, stirring gently to dissolve the chocolate into the cream. Allow the mixture to fully melt and blend until smooth.
-
Add Butter for Extra Creaminess: Once the ganache reaches a smooth consistency, add the soft butter in small chunks. Stir continuously to ensure it blends evenly, giving the ganache a silky texture. Alternatively, you can use a spatula to mix until the butter melts completely into the ganache.
-
Let it Rest: Allow the ganache to cool slightly before using it to top your favorite desserts. The ganache will thicken as it cools, making it perfect for glazing or filling.
This milk chocolate ganache is now ready to elevate your desserts, whether as a glossy topping for cakes or as a dip for fruits, cookies, or even pancakes. Enjoy the indulgence!
