Ingredients
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream.
Step 2
Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir well to combine. The mixture will still be lumpy at this stage.
Step 3
Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for another 20-30 seconds. Remove and stir again until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. Repeat the heating and stirring process in 10-second increments if necessary, being careful not to overheat.
Step 4
If using vanilla extract, stir it into the ganache once the chocolate is fully melted and combined with the cream.
Step 5
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before using. It will thicken as it cools, making it ideal for spreading, drizzling, or dipping.
