Chocolate Ganache Icing

Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces (170 grams) 60% cacao semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • cups (300 grams) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine chocolates, butter, and salt.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to steam. (Do not boil.) Pour warm cream over chocolate mixture, and let stand for 3 to 5 minutes. Starting at center of bowl, slowly stir in small circles with a rubber spatula until well combined. (This ensures you are not incorporating too much air into the ganache.) Let stand at room temperature until thick and spreadable, 1½ to 2 hours.
