EQUIPMENT

INGREDIENTS

400 g (14 oz) dark chocolate
180 ml (¾ cups) heavy cream hot
100 g (⅓ cups) Nutella

INSTRUCTIONS

Add the dark chocolate to a heatproof bowl.
Heat the cream on the stovetop to just below boiling point. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate.
Let sit for one minute.
Add the Nutella.
Mix until smooth and fully blended.
If lumps remain, microwave for 20 seconds and stir again.
The mixture will become thick, glossy, and smooth when ready.
Cover with cling wrap touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Let sit at room temperature for 3 hours to cool and thicken. More or less time may be needed depending on the weather.
It is ready to use when it reaches the consistency of peanut butter.

NOTES

Ensure the heavy cream is just below boiling point to avoid splitting the cream.
If using for macarons or cookie sandwiches, let the ganache cool completely for a firmer texture.
Store any leftover ganache in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
For a quicker cooling process, place the ganache in the fridge, checking every 30 minutes.
