This recipe is here on CC. I am going to try to make this (first ganache try) tomorrow. I have semi sweet baking chocolate and semi sweet chocolate chips. Are either of these OK. It doesnt say if it sould be unsweetened, bittersweet or semi sweet. There is sugar in the recipe. I just dont want it to turn out bad because I did something stupid!
Thanks
Hi, I've made this recipe quite a few times (it's my favorite) and use semi-sweet baking chocolate. I used unsweetened once because I didn't want to go to the store and had to add extra sugar, it was kind of bitter IMO for ganache.
Have you tried to send Cheftaz a PM? He's always been helpful.

Hi
I make a lot of chocolate cakes using ganache - in the UK -
I would never use baking chocolate but the chocolate chips should be OK.
I always use couveture and I just use 500g milk chocolate chips to 300g double cream. I then just pop it into the microwave for 2 minutes and then give it a really good stir. Either pour over cake or chill overnight if you want to whip it. When using white chocolate I use 300g cream and 600g chocolate.
Hope this helps.
