Chocolate Ganache

Chocolate Ganache? Something so easy to prepare and you can use on top of just about anything

Who Loves Chocolate? I raise both hands.

Something that still baffles me is a chocolate ganache.  It is really easy prepared with warm cream and chocolate.  Let the warm cream melt the chocolate for a few minutes then mix with a whisk.  This ganache can be used for cakes, truffles, other desserts, or swimming (I’m joking).

I have made this chocolate ganache for my

Now in the recipe, there is the option to add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.  Why?  Salt enhances the flavor of the chocolate.  Think of a Snicker’s Bar, it is prepared with salted peanuts, which enhances the flavors of the caramel and chocolate.  And why kosher salt?  Kosher salt has less sodium content than that of iodized salt.

This chocolate ganache is super quick and easy to make
