I made chocolate ganache the traditional way with a friend last week, and it seemed simple enough to try in the microwave. With only two ingredients, this is a treat that's sure to tickle your sweet tooth!
Coat the bottom of the bowl (not a metal or plastic one) plus some with heavy cream or milk. Heavy cream will give the ganache more flavor, but milk is definitely a cheaper option. Microwave on HIGH for approximately 45 seconds. If it bubbles into a boil, take it out. Then, add a few handfuls of chocolate chips, or break up a chocolate bar, whichever you have around your room. Stir together until smooth.
As this point, the ganache is more like a warm chocolate syrup. If you stick the bowl in the fridge for an hour, stirring on occasion, it will match the consistency ganache usually is. You can keep storing the ganache in the fridge, but it'll lose its smooth texture, but re-stirring it with make it regain that texture.
Enjoy!
