Keywords: For a sweeter taste, consider using milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. Enhance flavors by adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract. To create different consistencies, adjust the ratio of chocolate to cream; more cream for a thinner sauce, more chocolate for a thicker ganache.
