Do you know what ganache is? If you don’t, you simply must learn. It is the easiest thing to make and is absolutely wonderful. I learned about it watching a video on making a mini-cake for Dad’s birthday. It was decorated with ganache.

Ganache is simply a combination of chocolate and cream. You heat the cream until it is almost boiling (I actually boiled my a few seconds, but it didn’t seem to hurt.) You then pour it over your chocolate chips and let it set a few minutes, then beat it up so the the chips melt and combine. At first it doesn’t look like it will work, but keep whisking. You can use different ratios, depending on what you are making. I used 1:1 for the cake. I’m now using the left overs for dipping strawberries. In the fridge, it gets quite hard, but it microwaved in only a few seconds to where I could stir it up.

Seriously… yum!
