I wanted to make the chocolate ganache that is not too sweet and fits adult taste buds. This rich bittersweet chocolate flavor was the best ratio of the ingredients that I found.

- Be careful to not let the temperature get too high while melting the chocolate in a double-boiler (to keep the smooth texture).
- You can also use semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer.
- Freeze the leftover in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag. For filling for 12 4 cm [1.6 in] macarons. Recipe by yukoz1

Steps

1

Measure and prepare the ingredients. Bring the butter to room temperature.
2

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Remove it from the heat once the temperature reaches 50℃ (122℉).
3

Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream until just before boiling.
4

Add the 1/3 of the heavy cream from Step 3 into the chocolate from Step 2 and mix well. Once it is evenly mixed, add the remaining heavy cream in 2 batches.
5

Once it has cooled, mix in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time with a hand mixer.
6

When all of the butter is mixed in, beat at low speed for about a minute.
7

Immediately move it into an airtight container, cover with a plastic wrap so that it sticks firmly to the surface of the chocolate cream, and let it cool.
8

If you are using it as macaron filling, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before adding it into the pastry bag. It gets a little harder and will be easier to pipe out.
