Best No Fail Way Easy Chocolate Ganache Recipes
PERFECT CHOCOLATE GANACHE + HOW TO GLAZE A CAKE!
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.

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.

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.

NO-FAIL , WAY EASY CHOCOLATE GANACHE
After having some batches of ganache seize, turn grainy, or not quite melt the chocolate correctly, I wanted an easy way. This is shamefully easy. I use this for frosting when I'm in a hurry. It also can be shaped into balls that people who aren't purists might call truffles. About 5 minutes to make, about 30 or more to cool. (Unless you use the speedier, more labor intensive meth

Steps:
- Dump the chips and butter into a food processor.
- Bring the cream and sugar to a boil.
- Don't burn it!
- Dump cream mixture into chips, turn processor on.
- Once it's mixed, cover and stick in fridge until the mix is the right texture for frosting.
- If you're in a hurry, put some ice cubes in a big bowl, and the chocolate mix in a smaller bowl.
- Place the bowl with chocolate into the larger bowl on top of the icecubes (No! Don't put the cubes into the chocolate mix!) Stir and the mixture will thicken as it cools.
- Perfect and yummy.
- Don't work it too much or it loses its shine-- though it's always delicious.
- I imagine a blender will work-- you might have to add more cream to supply more liquid.
- I haven't tried.
- Add vanilla or, for a more grown-up taste, substitute a tablespoon of Kalua or Grand Marnier.
- For truffles, let the mix cool longer, form into balls and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
