Basic Instructions
- Chop chosen chocolate finely and place in separate heatproof bowls.
- Heat appropriate amount of heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chopped chocolate.
- Let mixture sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until glossy and fully combined.
- Whisk in unsalted butter, fine sea salt, and flavorings while ganache is warm.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until firm yet scoopable.
- Once chilled, whip ganache on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-4 minutes.
- Taste and adjust flavorings if needed; re-chill and whip again for stiffer peaks if too soft.
- Use immediately for filling or frosting; store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes
Chop chocolate finely for the best melting results; monitor the cream temperature to avoid scorching.
