So someone asked me to post my recipe for Ganache. So what is Ganache? To me Ganache is liquid gold (hehehe)! Seriously though, ganache is a glaze, icing, sauce, or filling for pastries made from chocolate and cream. It is made by heating cream, then pouring it over chopped chocolate of any kind.
At Little Miss Cupcake Bakery, I use ganache for several applications- on drip cakes, cupcakes, donuts, just everything that needs a little love! So how do you get your ganache to the right consistency? I am sharing my recipe with you and I hope you try it and tell me what you think!
Ingredients
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chocolate chips, and whisk until smooth.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
Look at that ganache just dripping of that cake. As I mentioned before, it's liquid gold :)
I hope this recipe helps!
Until next time.....
