Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 8 ounces Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Directions
Step 1
Chop the sugar-free dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. This will help it melt more evenly.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Avoid bringing it to a full boil to prevent scorching.
Step 3
Remove the cream from the heat and immediately pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to begin melting.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently stir the cream and chocolate together until it forms a smooth, glossy mixture.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the ganache. Stir until the butter is fully melted and evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Let the ganache cool at room temperature for about 1 hour to thicken up, or refrigerate it for quicker thickening if you intend to use it as a frosting or filling.
Step 7
To use the ganache as a pourable glaze, allow it to cool just until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 8
Store any leftover ganache in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in a microwave or double boiler as needed.
