Directions
-
Chop the low-carb chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts smoothly and evenly.
-
Combine the heavy cream (2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons) in a small saucepan over medium heat.
-
Heat the cream until it just begins to simmer; do not let it come to a rolling boil.
-
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
-
Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
-
Stir gently with a spatula, starting from the center and working outward, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
-
Stir in the chocolate extract and sugar-free vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the ganache into your prepared pie crust or serving molds.
-
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the ganache has set firmly.
