Great recipe. I also use this as a base and omit the chocolate, use butterscotch chippits instead and beat it till its nice and fluffy.

I was bummed when I ran out of powdered sugar for frosting. Relieved when I found this recipe. In heaven, when I tasted it. Just used good ol' Nestle chocolate chips and it was delicious.

So good! I made this to go on a Boston Cream Pie. It may have been a little rich for the pie, but it was the best part as far as I'm concerned! It was beautifully shiny and it was smooth and melted in your mouth.

Perfect! I left it in the fridge until it was cold and then spread it over a Chocolate Mud Cake.

Thank you for the recipe. It's unbelievably easy and my family loves it. Coconut milk (the thick kind that has the same amount of fat as dairy cream) works pretty well as a substitution for the whipping cream. The texture is not quite the same and it has to stay in the refrigerator longer to be usable, but it's tasty and doesn't have a strong coconut taste.

WOW...this was SO GOOD (and decadent too!). I had never done a ganache before and used this to top Cream Cheese Pound Cake I from this site. I ended up using Lindt 100g bar of Madagascar 65% cocoa and it was fabulous. Melted all together over low, removed and let cool for about 45 mins as I wanted a pourable ganache. Probably could have left a few mins longer to get it to that perfect consistency, but nonetheless, it was FABULOUS!

Love this- so yummy. I wanted a white chocolate ganache (to go over a dark flourless chocolate cake) so I used (real) white chocolate chips, chopped. I brought the cream to a boil first, and then poured it over the white chocolate, let it sit a few seconds, and stirred it together. I was worried because at first it wasn't incorporating, but I got out a mini wisk and that did the trick. I put it over my cake before it had really set up (because I was impatient) and it was good that way. I let some sit in the fridge for a few hours and it's thick, rich and beautiful. I'll have to try semi-sweet chocolate next!

I was looking for this exact recipe. I used the chocolate ganache on ice cream sundaes and it was delicious!

Super easy with great results. In a pinch, I did use regular chocolate chips and they turned out fine. Of course, if you have high-quality chocolate, than use it, but regualar chips also makes a great ganache. I drizzled this on Cream Puffs (from this site). So elegant and easy.

Very rich and decadent. If you're going to make this, you have to use a good quality chocolate or the true taste and texture will be off. I used this as a filling for a torte. In order to do this, after melting the chocolate with the cream, I left it out to come to room temperature. Then I refrigerated it for 30-45 minutes. I used my hand mixer and whipped the ganache into a rich and creamy filling. This changes the color of the ganache from a dark chocolate to a light chocolate.

Fabulous! This made my cake especially fudgy and it looked beautiful. I'm terrible at icing cakes, but this just laid perfectly on it, so much less work for me for a much prettier icing. Thanks!
