Instructions

Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the cream until steaming but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 10 minutes without stirring.
Once the chocolate has melted, gently stir the cream and chocolate together until smooth. Set aside at room temperature to thicken.

Notes

To enhance the flavor, toast the hazelnuts before using them.
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Allow the ganache to thicken properly to achieve the desired consistency.
