A tad disapointed, as abit oily even though I followed the recipe to the T. I halved the recipe for a 9 inch chocolate cake. Was more than enough. Would defo search for a different recipe, although tasted like a nice dark icing, and solidified over time.

So good! And so easy! I used a teaspoon of orange extract instead of rum and used it to fill a chocolate cake.

This ganache was so easy to make! I bake cakes all the time and sell them, but had never tried ganache until I got a cake order with ganache filling. I trusted that this recipe was good based on the reviews, and indeed, it was. I actually used 1/2 bittersweet and 1/2 milk chocolate because after trying it first with just bittersweet, I thought it was a little too bitter. Once I mixed the two, it was perfect. I will definitely be using this recipe in the future! Thanks!

I was one of those people who thought making ganache was way out of my league. This recipe is so easy and so insanely delicious. I whipped the ganache when cooled into a filling that I used in thumbprint cookies, just as a change from the usual jam filling. I got such rave reviews that I will use this from now on, whenever I need any type of chocolate filling. Simply fabulous. Thanks for the recipe.

Absolutely decadent!! I used this with the Black Magic Cake from AR. Made a two layer cake and for the filling added 1/4 cup powdered sugar and let my mixer whip on high for a good 10minutes. Came out light and fluffy...Perfect!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recipe! This is the first time I've tried to make Ganache (which is my favorite topping for a cake) and it turned out perfectly!!!! I didn't have cream in the house, however, so I used Bailey's instead paired with 80% cocoa dark chocolate by Lindt and left out the rum. Let me tell you, it was amazing!!! I recommend this recipe to anyone who doesn't like sweet sugary icing but loves dark chocolate. This will be a recipe I'll use for years to come. Thanks again. :)

I can't believe how AWESOME this ganache is! I made 1/2 the recipe and used 1 bar (4 oz) of Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate and 1/2 a cup of heavy whipping cream. I recommend stirring your cream while it's boiling to avoid getting that weird skin. After I poured it onto my chocolate, I waited a few seconds before whisking it. It was shiny, delicious, and I used it on the Black Magic Cake cupcakes I made. My whole family was raving about the ganache and I felt so accomplished. It was like a milestone in my baking career for sure. Maybe next time I'll try a white chocolate or a sweeter chocolate. Anyways, this is the REAL DEAL. Simple and it sounds so professional to say, "I made a ganache!"
