🛒 Ingredients

4 servings

4
  • 300g (10.5 oz) good-quality milk chocolate, finely chopped
  • 200ml (¾ cup) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon mild honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Directions

  1. 1

    Place chopped chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water. Stir gently until completely melted and silky smooth.

  2. 2

    Remove from heat and stir in honey and softened butter until fully incorporated and glossy.

  3. 3

    Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.

  4. 4

    Transfer the chilled ganache to a stand mixer and whip on medium speed until light and fluffy.

  5. 5

    Spread or pipe into your prepared tart shell and serve well chilled.

💡 Chef's Tip

Whip the ganache straight from the fridge for the best airy texture. Add a pinch of fleur de sel or a splash of vanilla extract for a gourmet twist.
