Instructions
1
Make the ganache
① Chop the sweet chocolate and unsalted butter, then place them together in a bowl. ② Fill a pot slightly smaller than the bowl with water and bring it to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Set the bowl over the pot to form a double boiler. Stir until the chocolate and butter are fully melted. ③ In a separate small pot, pour in the heavy cream and warm it over low heat. Remove from heat just before it comes to a boil, then pour it into the bowl with the melted chocolate. ④ Return the bowl to gentle heat and stir continuously until smooth and well combined.

Chill and set
Pour the mixture into a tray or bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill briefly. Once it has firmed up slightly, use a plastic spatula to repeatedly fold and stir until it reaches a moldable consistency. If it is still too soft, return it to the refrigerator for a while longer.
