Chocolate Orange Ganache Glaze Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 oz. semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped or use chips
• I used Ghirardelli chips from the local supermarket,
• but my favorite high quality chocolate to work with if you can get your hands on some is Valrhona.
• A few other great chocolates out there are Callebaut and Scharffen Berger.
• ½ cup heavy cream
• Zest of 1 organic orange
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, at room temperature and cut into small pieces
• 1 Tablespoon corn syrup – for shine and a little sweetness
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Heat the cream and orange zest in a pot until it comes to a boil; remove from the heat and allow it to steep for 20-30 minutes.
2. Place the chocolate, butter, corn syrup and salt in a small bowl.
3. Strain the orange infused cream over the chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until melted.
