Chocolate ganache recipe

Directions

1. 1
   In a large pyrex bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter and cream.
2. 2
   Heat the mixture a minute at a time in the microwave, stirring between each time until you have a smooth consistency.
3. 3
   If using to decorate cupcakes, make sure you only fill your cupcake cases up half way with batter - you need space for the chocolate (see video).
4. 4
   Pour the ganache onto the cupcake, aiming for the middle, until full.
5. 5
   Tap sharply on your worktop surface to smooth it all out.
6. 6
   Allow to set at room temperature before eating.
