La Belle Cuisine

 


Ganache.  What could be easier? This classic, rich frosting is nothing
more than chocolate and cream, heated and stirred together. It lends
itself to variety, of course; but the foundation remains: Chocolate and
cream, pure and simple.

 

Perfect Ganache for any Cake

1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
200 grams (slightly less than
1/2 pound) dark chocolate

Bring cream to the boil and remove from heat. Drop in the butter and chocolate. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted.
Set aside until the ganache has cooled and is thick enough to pour over
the cake.

 

Dark or White Chocolate Ganache
Food & Wine Archives

Food & Wine - One Year Subscription 

1 pound semisweet dark chocolate,
or sweet white chocolate,
in 1-inch pieces
1/2 pint heavy cream [1 cup]

1. Place the chocolate and cream in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat.  Stirring constantly, cook only until the mixture is warm and most of the chocolate has melted.  Remove from the heat and continue stirring until
the chocolate has completely melted and the ganache mixture is smooth.
2. Pour the ganache through a strainer into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature before using; it should not be warm to the touch.
3. Thoroughly mix the ganache before using; do not refrigerate or it will set. It can be kept at room temperature, covered, for 2 days.  Makes
about 2 cups.
