Quick ganache (chocolate or white chocolate)
It’s great for drizzling over cupcakes, dipping the tops, or letting drip naturally down the sides.

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the cream until just warm and steaming, not boiling! You can do this on the stove or in the microwave.
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes.
Gently stir from the center outward until smooth and glossy.
Let the ganache cool slightly before drizzling. It will thicken as it sits.

For a thinner drizzle, use it while warm.
-
For dipping cupcake tops, let it cool until slightly thickened but still fluid.
-
If it thickens too much, gently rewarm in short bursts.

White chocolate ganache works the same way, just swap in white chocolate chips.
