Preparing the Ganache Balls
In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped semi‑sweet chocolate, letting it sit for a minute. Stir until smooth, then whisk in the tablespoon of butter. Transfer the ganache to a shallow dish, cover, and chill in the freezer for about 20‑25 minutes until firm enough to roll into ½‑inch balls. This chilling step is essential; it prevents the ganache from melting into the batter during baking.
