The first step in assembling your chocolate dessert board is to make the ganache. This ganache recipe has one slightly different step that I like to use to make the chocolate more spreadable. You will want to use cream and chocolate in a 1:1 ratio.

Heat half your cream until it just starts to simmer. Place your chocolate in a glass bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Allow this to sit for 2 minutes then stir together.

Whip the remaining cream until it form whip cream. Gentle stir this into the chocolate ganache.

Spread your chocolate on your board.

Place your other ingredients around the board or place them in small bowls. Optionally you can spread some nuts on top of the board for an added flavor and crunch.
