Ganache glaze

Ingredients:

• 450 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 450 ml (2 cups) heavy cream 33%

Preparation:

1. Place the chopped chocolate in the bowl of a food processor.
2. Pour the heavy cream into a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl and microwave on full power for 3–4 minutes, or until the cream begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
3. Pour the cream into the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Then, mix everything until smooth. This ganache can be used for icing. If you want a lighter icing, cool the ganache to room temperature, about 2 hours, transfer it to the bowl of a stand mixer, and beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
