All ratios are written with the first number as the weight of chocolate and the second number as the weight of cream.

For example:
1:1 Dark Chocolate Ganache:
227g (1 c) heavy cream
227g (8oz) dark chocolate, chopped

1. Heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to just below a boil.
2. Add the hot cream to the dark chocolate and let sit for two minutes.
3. Use a rubber spatula to stir everything together. Start by slowly mixing in the center and work your way out.

  • Love how straight forward you are thank you for the simplicity 💜
  • You GENIUS!!!!! The most recent time I made macarons, I was struggling to get my white chocolate ganache to the same, smooth consistency as my dark chocolate one, and this explains SO MUCH!! ALSO, I made your recipe for coffee caramel creme brulee and it's OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! <3 I can't thank you enough <3

    to anyone asking: he said " milk and white chocolate ganache needs more chocolate, so the first number(1,5 and 2)are refer to the chocolate, always! So, in milk chocolate 1,5(chocolate):1(cream).So like 150g chocolate and 100g cream. Or 1,5 cup chocolate and 1 cup cream.

    I love the fact he actually explains how it works in a straightforward, easy to understand way. It’s really helped me get a good grasp on what went wrong when I mess up on recipes, now instead of beating myself up and dwelling on it, I figure out what I did wrong and try to fix it.

    A quick whirl with an immersion blender is my go-to for rescuing a separated ganache. It has never failed me.
