Directions
- 1
Combine the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- 2
Stir continuously with a spatula until the mixture thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 8–10 minutes.
- 3
Remove from heat and add both chocolates, stirring until fully melted and perfectly smooth.
- 4
Pour in the heavy cream and whisk vigorously until the sauce is silky, glossy, and fully combined.
- 5
Adjust consistency: add more cream for a thinner, pourable sauce or use less for a thicker ganache.
- 6
Serve warm over your favourite desserts or store for later use.
💡 Chef's Tip
Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Rewarm gently in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each. Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for the most balanced flavour.
