Mili's Quick One-Cup Chocolate Ganache

This is a super quick way to make a cup of ganache - just enough for drizzling over a dessert. I'm sharing the classic way and the vegan way to make this topping.
Any leftover ganache can be placed into a sealed container and refrigerated for up to a month. Cold ganache will harden. It can be slowly reheated to bring it back to the flow you want.

Ingredients
  

Classic Chocolate Ganache
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet choclate chips
Vegan Chocolate Ganache
  • 1 cup all fat vegan milk - soy, coconut, etc.
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Pour one cup of heavy whipping cream (or vegan milk) into a glass container. Put into the microwave for 2 minutes. Pour the half-cup of chocolate chips into the hot cream.
  2. Allow the mixture to sit for 30 seconds to one minute.
  3. Stir with a spoon. You have one cup of choclate ganache, ready for the world. Spoon it onto your dessert.
  4. When using vegan milk, add half of the chocolate until mostly melted and then add the other half cup until totally combined. These ingredients will allow a few more minutes before the chocolate has melted and your ganache is ready.
  5. If you're looking to drizzle, take a gallon sized storage bag, fill one corner and then cut a small hole at that corner. The smaller the hole, the smaller the drizzle. The large the hole, will make for a dollop effect.
