So I've been on a ganache binge lately. Truth be told, I've always been too afraid to even go anywhere near ganache. I always thought that it was something too difficult and too beautiful to be made at home. After doing some research, turns out that I was dead wrong. Ganache is hands down the easiest and most beautiful thing you can make to decorate your desserts.
Ganache is so versatile and absolutely delicious. After checking out a few recipes this was my favorite. Her recipe is easily adjustable for either larger or smaller quantities. There is one thing I need to confess here: I took a bit of a shortcut and used semisweet chocolate chips and heated the cream in the microwave! I have no idea if that's a no no, but the ganache turned out excellent. A word of caution with the chocolate chips though, you should definitely chop them up or run them through the food processor.
I used the ganache as a glaze for some spring themed cupcakes:
I whipped it up and covered a cake with it:
Whipping it turns it into the most luscious and fudgey frosting you've ever had in your entire life!
I used it to glaze an entire cake (which I still have to work on getting the sides to be completely smooth) :
The recipe is a definite keeper! I can't wait to try to make truffles with the ganache and many more yummy things.
That's all for this week folks! Don't be afraid to try ganache. I'm sure all of you can do it! Happy baking and happy crafting! ♥
