Chocolate Ganache

Chocolate Ganache 3 Ways

Chocolate ganache is a delicious alternative to buttercream. This recipe can easily be cut in half or even doubled. I have a live recorded video of the entire process below the recipe!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Place your heavy cream into a small sauce pot and place on the stove on medium heat. You just want the edges to start to bubble.
  • Place your chocolate chips into a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Once the heavy cream starts to bubble around the edges, pour it over your chocolate chips. Don't stir it. Let this set for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, with a whisk or silicone spatula, stir your chocolate chips and heavy cream together.
  • Once it starts to come together, whisk faster until its a nice smooth mixture with no lumps.
  • At this stage, the ganache can be used for that shiny drip you see on cakes!
  • Here's an example!

For thick ganache:

  • Place a piece of plastic wrap over your chocolate and let sit on the counter overnight (10-12 hours). You want the plastic wrap to actually be touching the chocolate.
  • The next day, you will have a thick ganache that is perfect to cover a cake with. It will be the consistency of a thick peanut butter. You can leave it on the cake as is, or cover in fondant. I'll post a picture here soon, sorry!

For whipped ganache:

  • Once you've reached step 6, cover your ganache in plastic wrap and place into the fridge for 30 minutes. Make sure the plastic is touching the ganache.
  • Remove from the fridge. With a handheld or stand mixer, whip the ganache until it's lightened in color and can hold a soft peak.
  • This can be piped onto cakes and cupcakes or even used as filling in cookies or macarons!
