PERFECT CHOCOLATE GANACHE + HOW TO GLAZE A CAKE!



Perfect Chocolate Ganache + how to glaze a cake! image

This is chocolate ganache is really easy and you only need two ingredients! Pour it over cakes or let it cool and frost your cupcakes with it! The first time I made ganache I screwed it up because I stirred it too soon. I also measured the chocolate chips all wrong because (don't laugh) I thought; 8oz = 1 cup, nope; it's actually a weight measurement. Chocolate chips usually come in 12 oz bags, so use 2/3 of the bag (which is roughly 1 1/3 cup measured). This tutorial will save you from my past pitfalls and before you know it, you'll be pouring ganache over everything you can get your hands on! Note: If you want more ganache, use the full 12 oz bag and 12 oz (1 1/2 cups) of whipping cream.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 oz 1/2 lb or about 1 1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Bring heavy cream to a simmer on the stove top, stirring occasionally. Just as soon as you see a simmer, remove from heat and poor over chocolate chips, swirling the bowl to make sure all chips are covered.
  • Place lid on chocolate chips to trap the heat and let sit undisturbed (no mixing) for 5 minutes. Remove lid and swirl the chocolate chips with a whisk starting in the center and working outward until smooth. It will turn into velvety ganache right before your eyes and you'll get excited.
  • Once it's velvety, let it sit uncovered at room temperature (70˚F) for about 15 minutes before pouring it over your cake. It was perfect for glazing the entire surface of a cake roll after 15 minutes (it should coat a spoon nicely when ready for cake coverage - set your timer!).
  • Place cake on a wire rack over a rimmed platter or rimmed baking sheet. Pour your ganache evenly over the top of your cake until desired coverage is reached. You can lift up the wire rack and re-use the chocolate ganache that drips onto the platter.

Time 20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 3

9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon dark rum

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.

Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield About 1 1/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 ounces, high quality semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Scald the cream. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and gently stir to melt all the chocolate. This can be made up to 3 days before and reheated slightly for use. The glaze should drizzled over the puffs when its room temperature, or slightly warm, but still liquid. If the glaze is hot, it will drip too much.;

Tips:

  • To create a smooth and glossy ganache, use a high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Use heavy cream for a richer ganache and milk for a lighter one.
  • Heat the cream until it is just simmering, but do not boil it.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in thirds, whisking constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Let the ganache cool for a few minutes before pouring it over the cake or pastry.
  • If the ganache is too thick, add a little more cream. If it is too thin, add a little more chocolate.
  • For a shiny ganache, brush the top with a thin layer of corn syrup or honey.
  • Store the ganache in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Poured ganache is a versatile and delicious glaze that can be used to top cakes, pastries, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can create a smooth, glossy, and flavorful ganache that will impress your friends and family.
