Caramel Ganache

Step 1

Unwrap all of the caramels candies, cut each into 4 pieces and place them in a medium bowl

Step 2

Bring the heavy whipping cream up to a boil and pour it over the caramel . Cover the bowl with a plate to trap the heat and let sit for 5 minutes

Step 3

After 5 minutes the caramel will be soft but not melted, in 30 second intervals heat it in the microwave . Stir well in between, it is ready for the next step when the mixture is completely smooth.

Step 4

Prepare an ice water bath in a larger mixing bowl your other bowl will fit in

Step 5

Now place the smaller bowl with the caramel mixture into a ice water bath and beat with an electric mixer, stopping to scrap down the sides

Step 6

This will take about 5 minutes but eventually the mixture will get creamy and thicken, you want the consistency to be able to drizzle off a spoon but thicker than melted caramel
