Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate bars
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the white chocolate and heavy cream to a microwave-safe glass pitcher or bowl with enough room for stirring.
- Microwave Round 1: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute on 50% power. Stir briefly with a fork; the chocolate will start to soften but not fully melt yet.
- Microwave Round 2: Microwave for an additional 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir vigorously for at least 30 seconds, starting in the center and gradually widening your stirs to the edge until the mixture becomes a smooth, shiny, and uniform glaze.
- Microwave Round 3 (Optional): If there are still chunks of chocolate, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals at 50% power, stirring well after each round until all the chocolate has fully melted and the ganache is smooth.
- Transfer and Store: Pour the finished ganache into a storage container. You can use it immediately or refrigerate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to thicken. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 month.
- Enjoy: Serve the white chocolate sauce directly from the fridge. It will be thin enough to stir into coffee or thick enough to use as a topping or glaze. Avoid reheating in the microwave as it can cause the ganache to break and become unusable.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Stirring thoroughly after microwaving ensures a uniform glossy finish.
- If you let the sauce thicken in the fridge, it can be scooped or spread over desserts easily.
- Reheating the ganache can cause it to break; mix it while cold to maintain the perfect consistency.
- Store the sauce tightly covered in the fridge to prevent it from absorbing other odors.
