Chocolate Ganache 12Oz Chocolate Equals ? Cocoa?
Baking By doc_farms Updated 24 Feb 2006 , 3:22am by Peachshortcake
I want to do the recipe for the Chocolate Ganache 1, but I don't have that much chocolate. I do have Ghirardelli cocoa. I saw the recipe for Chocolate whip cream calls for the same amount of cream, and 1/4 cup cocoa (but 1/2 cup sugar compared to 2 tablespoons).
HELP PLEASE, I'm trying to do my cake tonight 
and didn't expect to run into this problem.....I know, I know 
, I have learned my lesson - check that I have all ingrediants!!!!!

hey Miah,
Unfortenately you can't use powdered cocoa in place of chocolate for ganache. Without the cocoa butter in it the ganache won't set. You'll end up with a pretty good chocolate sauce though. If you have pure chocolate chips you can use those in place of missing chocolate. Even milk chocolate works for this, although I hate the taste of it. Thats just a personally preference though.
Good luck
Carla
no problem. I've had my fair share of ganache disasters and I just wish someone could have helped me through them.
