Ganache is made with just chocolate and cream, yet it’s one of the most magical mixtures that instantly makes a cake look professional. You can use it as a filling, a coating, or even as a drip sauce.

And the best part — it’s incredibly easy to make.

🍫 Ingredients

• 200 g milk or dark chocolate
• 200 ml cream

That’s it 😊

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Heat the cream in a small saucepan. It doesn’t need to boil — steam from the edges is enough.

Pour the warm cream over the chopped chocolate and wait 2 minutes without stirring.

Then gently stir from the center outward.

Suddenly you’ll have a glossy, smooth mixture.

And your ganache is ready 🎉
