Chocolate Ganache I Recipe - Cooking Index
12 oz | 340g | Semisweet chocolate |
(use chips or cut block into small pieces) | ||
8 oz | 227g | Heavy cream |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Flavoring or liqueur - (optional) |
Place the chocolate in a large metal or glass bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan just to the boiling point. Pour the cream over the chocolate, making sure that all of the chocolate is covered. Cover the bowl and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whisk the chocolate until dark and shiny, then cool to room temperature. To thicken, beat cooled icing with a hand mixer for a few minutes. It's best if used after 12 hours.
This recipe yields 2 cups, enough to fill and cover an 8-inch cake 3 inches high.
