Easy Microwave Chocolate Glaze Recipes

SUPER SIMPLE PERFECT CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Pour cream into a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave on high until very hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chocolate chips to heated cream; whisk until smooth.
• Place chocolate-cream mixture in the freezer until ganache is cold and starting to thicken, stirring every 5 minutes, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Spoon ganache into a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate until completely cooled, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Cut a corner from the plastic bag and pipe ganache.

EASY CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
• Set the cook time to 2 minutes and start the microwave. Do not step away. Stop the microwave every 15-20 seconds and stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula. At first, the chocolate will still be solidified, but this will help to evenly distribute the heat.
• As soon as the chocolate is almost completely melted with only a few solid pieces left, remove it from the microwave. This will likely not take the full 2 minutes.
• Add the butter to the bowl and stir. The heat from the melted chocolate will melt the butter and the solid chocolate pieces to create a smooth glaze. Use immediately.

MICROWAVEABLE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Put chocolate in a glass bowl. If I am intending to make a pourable ganache I use a 2°C pyrex measuring cup, then I can pour straight from it.
• Pour cream over top.
• Microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until chocolate starts to melt. Then stir, stir, stir until all the lumps are gone and it's smooth and shiny.
• Add flavorings if desired.
• Cool to desired consistency.
• Room temp and pourable is used to drizzle over cakes. Room temp and peanut butter consistency is used as a filling or icing. Chill it for a few hours to scoop out truffle balls or whip it with a chilled beater to make a whipped ganache, also for filling or icing.
