Dip that marshmallow! Or whatever you’re in the mood for ...
Chocolate has a reputation of being a kinda fickle ingredient—which it most certainly deserves—because it most definitely is. But there are a few really simple recipes that are so foolproof that you can make them with just about anybody, and this simple two-ingredient ganache is one of them. Using a 1:1 ratio of chocolate and cream gives you a flowy ganache that’s great for dipping or pouring. If you want to make a firmer ganache that’s better for rolling truffles, adjust the ratio and use 2:1 chocolate and cream.Makes 2 cups
