Ingredients
- 8 ounces Sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Place the sugar-free dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Ensure the chocolate is chopped into small, even pieces for smooth melting.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
Once the cream reaches a gentle simmer, remove it from heat and immediately pour it over the chopped chocolate.
Step 4
Let the chocolate and cream mixture sit undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the chocolate to soften and start melting.
Step 5
Gently stir the mixture with a silicone spatula or whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the butter is completely melted and the ganache is glossy and fully combined.
Step 7
Allow the ganache to cool slightly at room temperature. Once cooled, the ganache can be used as a glaze, or left to thicken further for piping or spreading.
Step 8
If you plan to pipe or spread the ganache, allow it to cool for about 1-2 hours. Stir occasionally until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 9
Use the ganache immediately, or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week. Gently reheat in a microwave or over a double boiler if necessary.
