Chocolate Ganache Recipe


Chocolate Ganache is absolutely one of my favorite things for filling or topping cupcakes!  I love that it is so easy to make, 2 simple ingredients, melt your chocolate and you're done.

Chocolate Ganache

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups Semi Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Directions

1. In a double boiler over medium heat add heavy cream and chocolate chips.
2. With a heat resistant spatula, stir cream and chocolate chips until chips are melted completely and cream is fully incorporated.  That's it, you're done!
3.  Store your Chocolate Ganche in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 

To reheat, microwave your ganache for 30 seconds and stir, then reheat for 15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until your ganache reaches a liquid consistency.  Refrigerated ganache can also be scooped into truffles and rolled in cocoa powder.

Chocolate Ganche can be used to fill cupcakes or drizzle over the top of buttercream frosting or both, like we did with our Chocolate Chili Cupcakes.

 Chocolate dipped strawberries also make great cupcake toppers.  Our Chocolate Dipped to Die for Cupcakes are one of our most popular cupcakes.
