Chocolate ganache

I have taken this recipe from Simply Ming and adjust the ingredients according to my taste.

Ingredients

1½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
½ lb. semisweet chocolate

1 tablespoon sugar

Method

Ø  In a sauce pan, mix the sugar and cream. Heat this mixture, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and avoid burning sugar on the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to just below a simmer.

Ø  Combine the butter and the chocolate in another bowl, pour the cream over the cream mixture. Let it stand for at least 2 minutes, then stir with a rubber spatula until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.

Ø  You can refrigerate for several weeks.
