Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 pounds best-quality milk chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon light corn syrup

Steps:

Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl; set aside. Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan; pour over the chocolate, swirling to cover completely. Let stand until the chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes. Add the corn syrup; whisk until smooth.
Pour 1 cup ganache into a bowl set in the ice bath; stir until thick and spreadable. Keep the remaining ganache at room temperature, stirring every 15 minutes, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 12 to 15 minutes. Use immediately.
