So, you’d like to make ganache, eh?  Well, here’s how.

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 8 ounces heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon brandy or rum (optional)

Method:

• Place chocolate in heatproof bowl.
• Place cream in a small, heavy saucepan.  Over medium heat, bring to a boil.  Remove immediately from heat and pour over chocolate.  Let stand for 2 minutes.
• Whisk chocolate and cream mixture until chocolate is fully melted.  Add liquor.
• Cool.  Can be used as truffles, to pour over a cake (warm slightly until ganache is a pourable consistency), or whipped or simply spread as an icing.
