Simply, easy, fudgy, thick Chocolate Ganache! Don’t be afraid of it, truly it’s the most easy and decedent confection to make! Use it as a frosting, layering in a cake, filling a cupcake, layered in an ice cream cake or poured over ice cream!
Simply pour your chocolate chips into a microwave safe measuring bowl along with your whipping cream.
Heat in 20-30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring well after each heating.
Once smooth and all chocolate has melted, plunk in your softened butter and stir or whisk until melted and incorporated.
Then add your vanilla and sea salt, stirring until smooth. Use as desired.
Give it a try in my Triple Chocolate Cake or Mile High Mud Pie, or simply pour a little over ice cream!
