Hi Bold Bakers! You have seen me make Chocolate Ganache multiple times but now I want to show you 3 different uses for ganache. Ganache is really easy to make: the ratio is 1:1, equal amounts of cream and chocolate. Already have an account?
Ganache for Glazes and Fillings
To make the ganache that is used for fillings and glazes the ratio is 1:1 , one part chocolate to one part cream. Heat up some cream, pour it over chopped chocolate and let it sit for 4 minutes. Then stir. This is for filling cakes, covering truffles, and drizzling over cakes and cupcakes.
Ganache for Easy Frosting
Another use for ganache is an incredible easy chocolate frosting. Once made and cooled, place in the fridge and let it cool down for roughly 30 minutes, just long enough for it to set but not too hard. Then go in with an electric mixer and whip it up to create a fluffy chocolate Frosting.
Ganache for Chocolate Truffles
Anther wonderful product from ganache are truffles. It is probably the easiest sweet treat you will ever make. Once your ganache is cold and hard, scoop it with a spoon. Shape it in your hand and toss in cocoa powder. Feel free to add liquor into the ganache to make more interesting truffles in a variety of flavors.
