HOW TO MAKE GANACHE

	Making ganache involves using the warmth of heated cream to melt chopped-up chocolate, then blending them with even stirring. The cream is brought to a boil, then poured onto the chopped chocolate. Let the cream sit in the chocolate for a short while, until the chocolate begins to melt.
	Stir the melting chocolate into the cream, beginning near the center and gradually widening the stir to pull in more chocolate as it melts, until you've combined all of the chocolate with the cream and have a smooth, glossy liquid. Try to get all the chocolate into solution, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't all dissolve - overworked ganache curdles (it'll still be delicious but it will look dull and may be grainy). Strain out undissolved lumps.
	Whisking the ganache incorporated air, giving it body and volume.
