Recipe for Chocolate Gananche (2nd try, unsuccessful)
170g semi sweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup milac whipping cream
1. Pour whipping cream into a saucepan and heat it up. When bubbles forming, remove from heat.
2. Pour in the chopped chocolates and sit for 1 minutes. Then stir till the chocolate completely dissolves.
3. Leave it to cool with minimal stirring. Just occassionally.
--> When it cools completely the gananche is still very watery. I try to whisk it slightly, it did helps a little.
