Shiny Glossy Chocolate Ganache Glaze
Yield: Covers one 6-inch cake
Ingredients
50g heavy cream (at least 38% fat)
50g bakeable chocolate chips
1.5 tbsp honey
Directions
1) Boil cream in airfryer at 120 degrees for 8 min.
If using convention method: Heat the cream until it is just boiling and simmering.
2) Add chocolate chips and honey. Let it sit for a few minutes.
3) Stir continuously in circular motion until smooth and there are no more lumps.

4) With your cake on a wire rack (I use a steaming rack as alternative), pour the ganache slowly over the centre at the top of the cake.
Tips: Place a layer of baking paper below the wire rack to help with the clean-up. You can even use the dripped chocolate later!
5) Let the ganache fall over the sides. Use a flat spatula to even out the ganache around top and sides.
Tips: A round turntable (or even lazy susan) would be really helpful too, if you have one!
