Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1.25 pounds bittersweet chocolate

Instructions

Finely chop the chocolate and place the pieces in a large, heat-resistant stainless steel bowl.
In a large, high-sided saucepan, heat the cream over medium-high heat, stirring often, until it just starts to boil. Be careful, as the cream can quickly boil over. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate.
Continuously stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
