This is the water-based ganache that we use as the foundation for our hot chocolates and mochas . After extensive tests by our training department, we found that using water (rather than milk or cream) to melt the chocolate yielded the most rich and delicious drinks. We’re lucky to have neighbors on both coasts who make chocolate for us; in San Francisco, we use a drinking chocolate made by TCHO, and in New York, we use a single origin dark chocolate made by the Mast Brothers. The type of chocolate you use will affect the strength of the ganache, so you may need to adjust the amount to taste.
Ingredients:
- 3 ounces (85 g) coarsely chopped dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup (2 fl oz / 60 ml) boiling water
Instructions:
- Put the chocolate in a small bowl or 2-cup glass measuring cup. Pour the boiling water over the chocolate and stir until smooth and the chocolate is melted. If you have an immersion blender, use it to fully emulsify the mixture.
- The ganache can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently in a microwave before using.
