Ganache'
INGREDIENTS
•
The cool thing about ganache is that 2 very simple ingredients can make something so amazing and so decadent. But what’s even MORE cooler is that those 2 simple ingredients can be used 4 different ways – as a shiny coating, as a whipped frosting,

Basic Ganache:
•
1 1/2 cups really good chocolate cut into pieces
•
1 cup heavy cream
•
Put the chocolate pieces in a bowl.
•
Heat the cream over medium heat just until it starts to get bubbles around the edges.
•
Immediately remove it from the heat and pour it over the chocolate pieces.
•
Let it sit for 30 seconds and then stir slowly. As you stir, gradually add the rest of the chocolate pieces until they are all melted and the mixture is emulsified. This takes about 2 minutes. You want it super smooth and shiny.

Now at this point, if you allow it to cool slightly to where it’s thicker (not as thick as say molasses), where it’s still pourable – that’s how you get those super decadent shiny coated cakes like this:
