Ganache is a smooth mixture of chocolate and cream.

Useful to know

Ganache is a smooth mixture of chocolate and cream. The amount of cream and the type of chocolate help determine whether it suits pouring, filling or another use. King Arthur shows why sweeter chocolate may require a different ratio. [1]

Decide on the intended consistency before choosing the recipe. Replacing dark chocolate with the same weight of milk chocolate does not guarantee an identical result. Follow the method for allowing hot cream to soften the chocolate before mixing. The temperature at which the ganache is used also affects how freely it flows.
