I'm looking for the best and easiest choc ganache recipe to ice a cake.

I would love some tips, too, if you have some!

Thanks!

I love the chocolate ganache 1 recipe from this site, but give yourself a good 1 1/2 to 2 hours to make it so it has time to set into a spreadable consistency.

I agree Chef Taz is great!!

Here is the linkhttp://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-2116-3-Chocolate-Ganache-1.html

I just pour it on over the cake when it gets a little above room temp. It is yummy and I can be done very quickly this way.

I use semi-sweet chips

the bar chocolate definately melts smoother and faster, but chips do just as well, a combination of both types is a good compromise.

...but whatever ya do, DO NOT BUY cheap chocolate...I have experimented with this a couple times now and both times the no-name brand of chocolate does not turn out....the texture and consistency is terrible....Nestle, Chiradelli, Dove...pick a name ya know! thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif
