Ingredients

• 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 fluid ounces Low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the low-fat milk over medium heat until it begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Pour the heated milk over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.

Step 4

Gently stir the mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 5

Add the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature. For a thicker consistency, let it sit longer or refrigerate until it's at the desired thickness.

Step 7

Use immediately to glaze cakes or pastries, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
