Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Ganache




Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Total Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Servings: 1 1/2 - 2 Cups of Ganache

Ingredients
7 oz Nutella (or hazelnut spread)
1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate (cut into small chunks)
1/3 Cup Non Dairy Milk 

Directions:
1. Heat 1/4 Cup of Milk or Non Dairy Milk in a small saucepan until simmering. 

2. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate, and cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel for 3 minutes.

3. Using a whisk, gently stir the chocolate until fully melted, shiny, and smooth. (If it isn't spreadable - think peanut butter texture - then add more milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired result).

4. Let the chocolate come to room temp before using to decorate the cake, otherwise the buttercream will melt off the cake.

5. Put the ganache between the layers of the cake and frost with the milk chocolate buttercream and serve with milk!
