Perfect Ganache I did not use the rum, but I followed the recipe exactly and just let it cool in the fridge and then whipped it up to use as a filling for a devils food cake,it was so good.

I wanted a white chocolate ganache so I decided to try this recipe. YUMMY! Everything came out perfectly and it whipped up great! I mixed in some coconut & crushed pecans because I am going to use this as a filling in an Easter cake.....fantastic!

So easy and wonderful. I found high quality chocolate in chocolate chip form and used that instead of worrying about chopping the chocolate. I don't think I'll ever buy a jar of chocolate sauce or hot fudge again.

GREAT all-purpose icing! I've combined this with the other recipe and add 3 T. butter, 1 t. vanilla, and 2 T. light corn syrup. This thickens the icing up perfectly! I've also used both rum and whiskey and both work great depending on the use. I always split the chocolate 60/40 bittersweet or dark (70% caco), and half semi-sweet. It just seems to be the way the amounts in the package work out. This does make A LOT of icing too - enough for me to easily do 24 cupcakes.

I used this to ice the Dark Chocolate Cake I from this site. There was just enough to cover the three layer cake. It was the perfect consistency and tasted great. I used Ghirardelli 70% Cacao Extra Bittersweet Baking Bars in this recipe and I did NOT use the rum.

I'd give it 4.5 to be true- tho I skipped the rum. It was good, easy, spread well and I used it whipped as a filling for the cake. It set quite hard too when I put the remainders of the cake in the fridge after. However a little too waxy/greasy for my liking- I guess thats the cream. I will continue looking for a sticky, sweet choc topping.

I used this ganache as an icing for "flourless chocolate cake" from this website. It was a great consistency to work with, hardened nicely and tasted amazing! It made more than enough to ice the cake. I did have some leftover.

I love this recipe for ganache. The only thing I changed was instead of the rum, I used vanilla extract.

The taste of this ganache is heavenly. Be a chocolate snob when it comes to what type/brand of chocolate you use for this recipe. The better tasting chocolate is well worth the upcharge!!

This was a very easy ganache, and paired with the Dark Chocolate Cake II from this website, it made a very rich, satisfying dessert.

I put this on the Fudge Truffle Cheesecake from this site. Decadent and very, very easy! The only time-consuming thing about this recipe was chopping the chocolate (and if I had a blender or food processor, that wouldn't have taken any time or effort either!) Thanks for this recipe--it made my cheesecake look so fancy!

Top notch recipe. Instead of the liquor, I add raspberry extract and it gives a wonderful extra flavor. Just keep adding the raspberry till you get the desired flavor, it usually requires the entire small bottle of the extract. With the raspberry its also great to then use it for truffles.

Have made this recipe numerous times. Superb. I left out the rum thing though. Recently, tried whipping it up per recipe's instructions. Simply awesome! Easy to apply onto my chocolate cake and received many compliments on my effort. Thanks Ingrid! ***MUAH***

I have never made ganache, or frosting for that matter, and it was wonderful! So easy! After following the very simple directions the ganache came out perfectly rich and silky...but I wanted a fluffy frosting so I put it in the fridge for a little bit and when whipped it up. It turned out so light and fluffy! I couldn't stop eating it....I will never buy chocolate frosting again when I can just make this! I think I will also experiment with it by adding peanut butter or vanilla or mint or something.
