The semi-solid form of gooey, creamy chocolate is different than its frosting counterpart—lending itself to a variety of applications in dessert-making. Rich and decadent, chocolate ganache is a versatile and handy mixture to have handy for last minute sweet fixes and sugar cravings.
Bite-sized and a delicious way to enjoy the unadulterated ganache, simply refrigerate the mixture to solidify slightly before making the morsels, to roll in coconut flakes or chopped nuts.
Infinitely better than using a powdered mix, simply adding piping hot milk to a scoop or two of ganache is a great way to make instant hot chocolate.
Dip freshly fried doughnuts into melted ganache and sprinkle any toppings of your choice to make them visually appealing and taste exceptional.
Replace the hassle of making a buttercream to ice cakes and use a high-quality dark chocolate ganache to crumb coat your layers.
Pre-bake a pastry shell or miniature tartlets before scooping in the ganache filling and sprinkling some sea salt on top—for the best kind of chocolate pie to feature in your high tea spread.
Adjust the consistency of the ganache using a bit more heavy cream to drizzle over ice cream sundaes, over pancakes, dip brownie bits or fruit into it.
