Ingredients:

¼ cup Cocoa powder

½ cup Sugar

1 cup Milk


Directions:

Step 1:

In a medium saucepan, mix together cocoa powder, sugar, and milk. Don't apply heat at this stage; just ensure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.


Step 2:

Stir the mixture until it forms a smooth, uniform consistency. Turn on the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. This process takes approximately 15-20 minutes.


Step 3:

Keep stirring until the ganache achieves your desired consistency – glossy and slightly thick, perfect for drizzling or spreading on desserts.


Step 4:

Turn off the heat and let the ganache cool slightly. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.


Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.

  • Be patient and stir constantly when simmering to avoid burning.

  • If you need more ganache, simply double the ingredients. It's that easy!

  • The ganache will thicken as it cools, so adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired consistency.

    • If your ganache becomes too thick once it cools, you can gently add a little milk and stir until it reaches the desired consistency.

    • Conversely, if the ganache becomes too thin, you can reheat it on low heat and stir until it thickens to your liking.

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.


Enjoy! 💖
