Chocolate Ganache is just so delicious when frosted over cakes or cupcakes..I have already shared a ganache recipe made using milk and this one is more basic one. I made this frost my beautiful decadent chocolate mud cake which is my next recipe.

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..
Hope you will try this out and let me know how it turns out for you…


Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time : 5 mins
Makes : around 2 cups


Ingredients:

Chocolate Chips – 1 1/4 cup ( I used semi sweet )
Cream – 1/2 cup
Honey – 1 tblspn

Method:


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.

Now 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..
