While emptying a memory card today I found the pictures I took on Christmas Eve, these included my chocolate ganache pictures. YAY me!! I was so excited and knew I had to post the how to pictures right away. The recipe and directions are super easy and now with pictures you'll be able to do this on your own.
Ingredients
1 pound good-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup corn syrup
Directions for ganache (Makes 4 cups)Place chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Bring cream and corn syrup just to a simmer over medium-high heat; pour mixture over chocolate. Let stand, without stirring, until chocolate begins to melt.
Beginning near the center and working outward, stir melted chocolate into cream until mixture is combined and smooth (do not over stir) Refrigerate , stirring every 5 minutes, until frosting just barely begins to hold its shape and is slightly lighter in color. Use immediately (ganache will continue to thicken after you stop stirring) Refrigerate any leftovers.

I used mine to frost this gorgeous chocolate bundt cake. I also used
it to fill these puppies.
