Chocolate GanacheFrom: Joanne @ thepioneerwoman.com/I first heard someone say “chocolate ganache” when I was a little girl, dining out with my family. The waiter was describing a chocolate cake and I remember him saying at the end that it was topped with a chocolate ganache. I thought, oooh, chocolate ganache! That sounds so fancy. I mean, when there’s chocolate ganache involved in a dessert, it’s always mentioned. Because it will always make people swoon. Because it’s chocolate ganache. Prep time: 5 min Cook time: 5 min Servings: 4 Ingredients: 4 ounces, weight Bittersweet Chocolate Drops, Or Chopped Chocolate 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
INSTRUCTIONS Place the chocolate in a medium bowl, and set aside. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium high heat, and bring to a scalding temperature, which is 180ºF. If you don’t have a thermometer, this is when the edges of the cream start to bubble, but it hasn’t reached a full boil yet. Remove the cream from the heat and immediately pour onto the chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes. Stir the chocolate and cream together with a spoon until the two combine into a thick, luxurious chocolate ganache. It’s now ready to be used for glazing cakes or dipping cookies.
