Serch no further. Best Ganache I have made. Having made quite a few using different methods this was the easiest method that I have ever used. Obviously the quality will depend on the chocholate so I am rating the easy and the look. This will be the standard Ganache for my daughters cakes from now on.

Easy and delish. Used the extra for "truffles".

I made this recipe following the directions exactly, but I used one 16 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips. I also added about 1/4 cup of powdered sugar just to make sure it didn't turn out too bitter. It was absolutely perfect and smooth. I used in on a layer cake with the recipe "too much chocolate cake" and it was a huge hit. I also topped the cake off with shaved semi sweet chocolate.

I'm shocked so many people rated this as 5-star with bittersweet chocolate. WAY too bitter! Still the best recipe as it uses both cream and butter but I used semi-sweet and it was perfect. Also whips up wonderfully when firm for a fabulous filling or frosting but must sit at room temperature for a while or it will be crumbly. Rating as-is 1-star As modified, 5-star.

This was a great recipe! I used semi-sweet baking chocolate and whipping cream because that's what I had on hand. I halved the recipe and melted in the microwave. 45 seconds on full power, 30 seconds, stirred, 20 seconds, stirred, 10 seconds, stirred and it was smooth and lump free! I had made some chocolate heart-shaped cupcakes which I then dipped into the ganache. Simple and delicious! Thank you for sharing.

This is the first ganache recipe I have ever tried, and now its the only one I use. I have tried 10 or so other variations and none are as easy, never-fail, and tasty as this one. I recomend this recipe HIGHLY to all cooks.

I absolutely love this recipe! I couldn't find bittersweet chocolate, so I bought semisweet instead, and it came out fabulous. I used it to top my chocolate eclair dessert. Of course I had to use half the recipe, and there was still more than enough for the topping. I give it 5 stars.
