One important tip when you’re making your ganache is to make sure you keep an eye on your heavy cream when it’s on the stove. When you’re boiling dairy products like milk or cream they tend to boil over very quickly. So as soon as you start to see steam coming off of your heavy cream you need to make sure you stay by the stove so you don’t end up with a giant bubbly mess.
