Cooking Chocolate For Ganache

Hi! On behalf of Expert Village my name is Andrea Spano and I'm going to show you how to make Ganache from my new book "Not Just Desserts." Okay. As you can see, the cream is boiling. I'm taking it off the flame. I'm shutting off the heat source. Particulaly on an electric oven, you have to remove the pan from the heat source because this is still very, very hot, so you don't want it to continue to boil. If this was a gas stove, as soon as I turned off the flame, basically that area will fairly much cool down. In this instace, this is still very, very hot. So I remove the pan from the back burner and the cream has boiled. Now, I'm going to add the chocolate. Now, the basic recipe for the ganache. It looks like a lot of chocolate for the cream, but it really is going to cook down. A basic quantity is 1/2 cup of cream to every 12 ounces of chocolate.
