Dark-Chocolate Ganache
Martha Stewart

Use this rich dark-chocolate ganache with our dark-chocolate cake for a devilish indulgence. Be sure to have a glass of milk handy!

Ingredients

* 2 cups heavy cream
* 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped


Directions

1. In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to a boil. Remove from heat; add 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped, and let stand, without stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk just until combined. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until spreadable, about 1 hour.
