Indulge in the ultimate decadence with this silky-smooth chocolate ganache. The Thermomix makes it effortless to make, thanks to its precise temperature control and gentle stirring.
Chocolate ganache is a luxurious blend of melted chocolate and cream. It can be used as a glaze, filling, icing, or even whipped into a light airy mousse.
I love it served warm over my coffee ice cream - the chocolate and coffee flavours work beautifully together.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Just 2 ingredients and no complicated steps.
- Made and ready in under 10 minutes.
- Gentle heating helps prevent the chocolate from going grainy.
Recipe Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
- Chocolate - use cooking chocolate or melts from the baking aisle, as they melt more smoothly than regular eating chocolate. Dark chocolate gives the best balance with the cream, though milk or white chocolate can also be used.
- Cream - use full-fat whipping cream. Do not use light cream, as the ganache will not set properly.

Chocolate Ganache Tips
The ganache will be ready to drizzle straight away, or you can leave it at room temperature to cool and thicken. It will cool completely in 2-3 hours.
To make a fluffy ganache, allow it to cool completely on the benchtop for 2-3 hours. Insert the butterfly whisk and whip for 1-2 minutes on speed 3.
Storage
Store the ganache in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
