Chocolate ganache

The name comes from the French ganache - "spice", which is confusing: in fact, the basis of ganache is chocolate, and spices may not be used at all. Any chocolate can be used, the classic is dark, but ganache can be made with white , milk, and chocolate with different additives.

Wait 10-15 seconds, and when the chocolate starts to melt, stir the ganache into a smooth mass. It's easiest to do this with a spatula, starting from the center and gradually incorporating the mass from the edges.
