Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate (such as Ghiradelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Chop the chocolate (if necessary) and place in a heatproof bowl.
  • Bring the cream just to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate making sure that it is all covered, then add salt.  Do not stir, otherwise the ganache will cool too quickly and become grainy. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Stir with a whisk until smooth and shiny.
  • Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature, stirring often, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Beat with a stand mixer using the whisk attachment until the mixture is paler and fluffy, 2 to 4 minutes.
