📝 Ingredients

Quantity	Ingredient	Notes
1 cup	Heavy Cream (or all-purpose cream)	For a richer, thicker ganache.
1 ½ cups	Milo Powder	Use the classic Milo from the jar.
2 tbsp	Unsalted Butter	At room temperature. Adds shine and a smooth texture.
Pinch	Salt (optional)	Enhances the chocolate flavor.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it is just beginning to simmer (you’ll see small bubbles form around the edges). Do not let it boil vigorously.
Combine: Place the Milo powder in a separate heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the Milo.
Whisk Smooth: Let it sit for one minute to allow the Milo to dissolve, then gently whisk until you have a smooth, uniform chocolate mixture.
Add Butter: While the mixture is still warm, add the room-temperature butter (and a tiny pinch of salt if using). Whisk continuously until the butter is completely melted and incorporated, creating a glossy, silky ganache.
Cool to Desired Consistency:
- For a Pourable Glaze/Drip: Use it immediately while warm.
- For a Spreadable Frosting: Let the ganache cool at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a spreadable, frosting-like consistency. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, whisking every 10 minutes to ensure it sets evenly.
Use and Enjoy! Frost your cakes, fill cupcakes, or drizzle over your favorite desserts.

💡 Pro Tips & Variations:

Thickness: For a thicker, fudgier frosting, you can add a bit more Milo powder (start with an extra 2 tbsp). For a thinner glaze, add a tablespoon more of warm cream.
Darker Chocolate Taste: Add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to intensify the chocolate flavor while keeping the Milo maltiness.
Make it Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream and a plant-based butter alternative.
Storage: Store leftover ganache in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let it come to room temperature and rewhip slightly before using.
