Hi all....still new here and trying to make chocolate ganache for the first time. I used a recipe from the site which called for 2 to 1 ratio of heavy cream to chocolate, melted placed in fridge overnight, now trying to whip and still liquid . is there anything i can do to save this without having too dump $11.00 worth of chocolate down the tubes .....any advice would be much appricated ...thanks

I think you have the ratio backwards. I use 16 oz. chocolate to 8 ounces of heavy cream.

thanks Loucinda.....do you think i can melt more chocolate and add it to the cold mixture and whip right away

I did this not too long ago..I switched the ratios and ended up with some really tasty and rather expensive hot chocolate. To fix it I put the mixture in my double boiler and as it heated up slowly added more chocolate bits until it finally reached the proper consistency. Good luck!
