Cuisine: French
Course: Dessert
Diet: Vegetarian

Description:

Chocolate Ganache is a rich, creamy frosting made from high-quality dark chocolate and fresh heavy cream. This decadent icing is perfect for cakes and cupcakes, offering a luscious texture that solidifies beautifully to give your desserts a stunning finish. With its smooth, glossy finish, it tastes far superior to traditional buttercream icing, making it an ideal choice for special occasions.


Ingredients:

  • 200 ml Fresh cream
  • 340 grams Dark chocolate (12 oz), finely chopped

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes


Instructions:

  1. Heat the Cream: In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the fresh cream to a boil.
  2. Add Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the finely chopped dark chocolate.
  3. Melt and Combine: Return the saucepan to low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
  4. Cool the Ganache: Allow the ganache to cool completely at room temperature.
  5. Use as Frosting: Once cooled, spread the ganache over your cake or cupcakes, or use it between cake layers for a rich and creamy texture.
  6. Make Truffles (Optional): Roll the ganache into balls to make homemade chocolate truffles.
  7. For a Dessert Sauce: If you prefer a thinner consistency for sundaes, thin the ganache with hot milk (1 tablespoon ganache to 1 tablespoon hot milk). Mix well, and serve over ice cream with some chopped nuts like almonds or cashews for extra crunch.

Enjoy this smooth and luxurious Chocolate Ganache, ideal for enhancing your desserts!
