How
to Make Ganache
Ganache
is a simple chocolate sauce that is luscious, easy to make, and very
versatile. By altering the ratio of whipping cream to chocolate, you
can make it thin for an ice cream topping, thick like a paste for a
sandwich filling between two cookies, or somewhere in between to drizzle
over a cake.
The following recipe will yield a thick, paste like ganache. You may
thin your ganache with more cream.
Ingredients
1/2 cup whipping
cream
2 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
six ounces good quality dark (semisweet) or bittersweet chocolate wafers
(chips can be used)
Directions
1. Combine the whipping
cream, butter, and light corn syrup in a heavy saucepan.
2. Heat until it simmers.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the chocolate. Stir
until the chocolate is melted into a smooth sauce.
The filling will
thicken as it cools. It can be thinned with additional whipping cream.
If it is too thin, gently reheat it and add more chocolate.
