    Easy Chocolate Ganache recipe Ingredients from a day in candiland

    I make this several times a month and put some in the freezer. You can leave it at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for a few weeks.

    You can also make truffles from the ganache by adding flavorings.

    Easy Chocolate Ganache Recipe

    Ingredients

    1 2/3 cup heavy cream

    (1 stick of butter) optional

    12 oz of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (Callebaut)

    1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or flavoring of your choice

    A dash my favorite salt

    Directions

    Chop your chocolate into fine pieces and place in a glass bowl or use a food processor (if you are using a processor, just continue to place everything inside after heating cream.)

    In a heavy saucepan bring cream to a boil.

    Pour cream over chocolate and whisk to melt the chocolate.

    Add flavoring. Put in a glass bowl and let cool to room temperature. This may take a few hours.

    You can refrigerate covered for several weeks and heat up or let stand at room temperature to use.

    I generally like to ganache my cupcakes then you can frost them. The ganache keeps them from drying out too soon. You can also add flavors to this recipe or use a good quality white chocolate.

    Let me know what you like to add to your ganache recipe?

      I've never made this but am now inspired. I hadn't realized you could freeze it -then defrost for *cupcakes*. Great idea.

      Have you ever added it to ice cream? My favorite ice cream is Moose Tracks, I thinking this would make a nice addition to my homemade vanilla ice cream for my own version of Moose Tracks. Thanks!
