                This is my go-to recipe for chocolate ganache. When I'm using it as macaron filling I whip it, and also add some more flaky salt as I prefer my macaron fillings to contrast the shells a bit more.

                This is a lovely chocolate ganache and perfect for French Macarons.  It will continue thickening as it sits on the counter.  At first, I did not think it would thicken because it was still thin after it cooled.  Do not lose heart as it will thicken to an excellent consistency with a little time.  Once it is thick, you can even use a handheld mixer to whip it to a slightly fluffier consistency if you like.

                Ohlalerouge-- The longer you allow the ganache to set up, the thicker it becomes. Soon it will become very thick and harden until it is the same consistency of a regular macaron's filling . This ganache tastes really good with the macoron recipe. Hope this helped!

                This is not a recipe for macaron filling, it's not thick enough. Maybe if you chill it then use it?

                This recipe calls for too much cream, I found that half the amount is sufficient to create the perfect ganache for filling french macarons

                Just do what the directions say. Heat the cream in a saucepan until it's almost boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate that you should have sitting in a bowl. Let sit for 2 min. Add butter and wisk.

                Heat the cream then pour it over the chocolate, This alone is enough to melt it. If you add cold cream to melted chocolate it usually will curdle and become lumpy. Hope this helps!
