I love chocolate ganache. It’s decadent, it’s versatile, and it’s easy. So, in an effort to make today a little less Monday-ish, I’m declaring today Chocolate Ganache Day– and will be providing you with the key to making chocolate ganache perfectly, every single time.
Want the secret? Here it is: don’t follow a recipe and DON’T MEASURE ANYTHING.
Yep. That’s it. Let me show you:
{pour desired amount of chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl}
{pour in heavy whipping cream,
just level with the chocolate chips}
{microwave for 1 minute, remove and whisk until smooth}
Super duper delicious served warm over ice cream (or just about anything, who are we kidding?).
It’s also fantastic for truffles– simply refrigerate, scoop out into balls, and dip in chocolate!
Come back on Wednesday to see what I did with my batch :)

Whoa! Yummy yumminess :) This ganache must be incredibly good :) I just wonder wheter it’s possible to use chopped chocolate instead of choc chips – they’re not available in my country :/
@Catalina Absolutely. I’m sure you could use chopped chocolate!! I’ve found that semi-sweet chocolate works best.
Thank you so much for sharing this luscious recipe!

Now that’s easy! Thank you for linking at Joy of Desserts.
thank you for sharing! I was having no luck with some of the recipes Ive been trying lately for ganache.
I’ve always wondered how it’s made! Can this be used to cover a cake?
@Lindsey Lu I have yet to follow a recipe for ganache and have it turn out well. I swear the secret is just eyeballing it. A recipe invariably screws it up for me!!
@Pati @ A Crafty Escape yep, yep! Come back tomorrow and you’ll see :)
This is great, thank you! I’ve never had success with ganache. Now I’m going to try again!
WHATTTTT. Ganache is that simple?? Why did I always think it was super hard? Man! Thank you for teaching me something new. :D
Thanks so much for linking up with Recipe Sharing Monday! :D
sounds delicious
Yum! How easy is that? I’ll have to try it soon
Thanks for sharing at What’s Cooking Thursdays!

I’ve started keeping a carton of heavy whipping cream in my fridge because I never know when I’m going to need it. Now, I’ve found another use for it. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
