Chocolate Ganache easy


Ohh, chocolate ganache - yum!  However, you want the perfect ganache for your cake, filling or truffles.  Want a runny ganache to drizzle over a cake or icecream?  then make your ratio 1:1 chocolate to cream.  Want a thicker ganache to pipe into macarons or roll into truffles when it's cooled?  then make your ratio 2:1 chocolate to cream.
Huh, math?  Ok, here it is easily explained... use 1 block of Aldi chocolate.  Say you choose dark chocolate.  Aldi big chocolate bars are 200g.... so...


Runny Ganache:
1 x 200g chocolate block
200 ml cream
Thick Ganache
1 x 200g chocolate block
100 ml cream
Let's see how to make it step by step - a good ganache that isn't grainy, and is smooth and glossy.
Step 1:
Chop your chocolate up into little slivers

Step 2:
Put the chopped up chocolate into a bowl
Step 3:
Microwave the cream for about 50 seconds (you want it super hot, not boiling)… or on a little saucepan
Step 4:
Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate and mix together.



Your ganache is now ready.  You can pour it now over a cake, drizzle over ice cream, or let it cool for piping or making truffles.
