Notes
Measure the ingredients in grams with a kitchen scale for the best results.
For drip cakes: Whisk the ingredients together and cool to 90°F (32°C). If you don't have a thermometer, the ganache should look thin and fluid. Microwave the ganache for 10 seconds if it's too thick. Transfer to a piping bag or spoon it on your cake. Do a test drip first, and use more ganache for longer drips and less for shorter ones.
Storage: Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap for up to 5 days. Let sit at room temperature for about an hour to soften.
Leftover whipped ganache might deflate after being refrigerated, but you can re-whip it once it reaches room temperature again.
