With four young children, it’s interesting to see what their tastebuds deem as their favorite foods. My oldest and youngest will eat nearly everything I set in front of them without a second thought. The middle two? Those are the picky eaters. They have distinct favorites and make them absolutely known to me and the rest of our family on a daily basis.
Our eight year old daughter’s current obsession is anything and everything Nutella. She loves it slathered on toast and as the filling for my Nutella Sour Cream Coffee Cake. She’s definitely the inspiration behind this Microwave Nutella Ganache.

How to make Nutella Ganache
Using my Microwave Chocolate Ganache recipe as a jumping point, this Microwave Nutella Ganache calls for only Nutella, dark chocolate and whipping cream. If your house is anything like mine, you likely have all the ingredients already in your kitchen.
The addition of dark chocolate to this recipe allows the ganache to set up correctly but doesn’t distract from the distinct Nutella flavor.
All three ingredients are added to microwave safe bowl and then heated for a minute to allow the chocolate to begin to melt and the whipping cream to heat. Then everything is whisked together until smooth.
Don’t be concerned that when you begin whisking, it seems like a large chocolate mass and then whipping cream surrounding it. As you continue to whisk the mixture together, it becomes a silky, delicious chocolate sauce.
Although some ganache recipes use milk or butter, I’m of firm belief that this Microwave Nutella Ganache with whipping cream is the only way to go. It’s the reason for the decadent creamy texture of this ganache. It’s also likely the reason why I continue to up the amount of whipping cream in my weekly dairy order.
