Adding Cream To Chocolate Ganache

Video Transcript

"Hi! On behalf of Expert Village my name is Andrea Spano and I'm going to show you how to make Ganache from my new book "Not Just Desserts." Okay, step 1 in preparing the Ganache is to get a sauce pan. Preferably this size so that you have plenty of room to work. We're going to take the heavy cream and put it in. We're going to pour it in there. We really need to wait so that this comes to a boil because we're going to have to add the chocolate into the boiling cream. Once it boils, we're going to turn it off. Right now, I'm going to add in the flavoring. In this case, I'm adding vanilla extract. I would say maybe about a 1/4 of a teaspoon because chocolate and vanilla work beautifully together. They really enhance each others flavors and bring the flavors all together. "
