I used semi sweet chocolate chips to make this and it was a bit bitter for me, so i added some honey to it to make it little sweeter. And also the addition of honey gave a nice shine to the ganache..You can use dark, milk or white chocolate for this as well.
Ingredients for Chocolate Ganache
- Chocolate Chips - 1 ¼ cup ( I used semi sweet )
- Cream - ½ cup
- Honey - 1 tbsp
How to make Chocolate Ganache
- Take chocolate chips in a clean dry bowl.
- Take cream in a sauce pan and bring it to a simmer.
- Now pour this over chocolate and let it sit for 2 to 3 mins.
- Use a spoon to stir gently.
- Now the chocolate is smooth.
- Add in honey and mix gently. Now ganache is done.
- Let it sit till it is cooled.
- Use this to spread over cakes..
