Milk Chocolate Ganache

Milk Chocolate Ganache
Ingredients:
200 g milk chocolate finely chopped
100 ml heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter optional
1 pinch salt optional

Directions:
Place the finely chopped milk chocolate into a heatproof bowl.
Ensure the chocolate pieces are small and even so they melt smoothly.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
Warm the cream until small bubbles appear around the edges.
Do not allow the cream to boil.
Pour the hot cream immediately over the chopped chocolate.
Let it sit undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the chocolate.
Gently stir from the center outward until the ganache becomes smooth and glossy.
Add the butter and salt if using and stir until fully incorporated.
Use the ganache warm for pouring or dripping.
