Ok–I mentioned Chocolate Ganache in the last post. Mostly ganache is used as a beautiful, smooth chocolate ‘frosting’ for desserts. But it is the tastiest-most wonderful Hot Fudge over Ice Cream. And SOOOOOOO easy to make!

Ganache Recipe:
8 ounces (227 grams) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy whipping cream

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium sized stainless steel bowl. Set aside. Heat the cream in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth.
Makes enough ganache to cover a 9 inch (23 cm) cake or torte.

I just use semi sweet chocolate chips and once it’s wisked to perfection–pour the entire bowl into a tupperware type container. Keep it in your refrigerator. When you want to use it–take a couple of scoops out of the container and put it in a microwave safe dish. Heat until melted and warm–pour over ice cream.

The sweetness of the ice cream and the semi sweet chocolate mix in such an amazing flavor. The ganache is smooth and wonderful! Finger lickin’ good!!
