"This is a rich,
dark chocolate topping or decoration that has lots of uses. It can be
whipped as filling or icing, or just poured over whatever cake you
like."
Ingredients:
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
|
1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
|
Directions:
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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. |
