Chocolate Ganache

This is really great way to decorate the cake with no effort and get praise from your family and friends. You can use this Ganache to make chocolate cover cookies, scones, pie and chocolate cover strawberries for cake decoration.

Ingredients
(1).8oz 70% dark chocolate (cut into pieces, I love Lindt Chocolate)
(2). 1.5 cup heavy cream
(3).4-5 spoon of sugar
(4).1 spoon butter/ spread for shiny texture

In a sauce pan take heavy cream and start melting it, once it starts boiling add dark chocolate pieces and whisk it well so that chocolate melt . Add little bit of sugar according to taste( you can avoid it if you like more bitter taste). And in last add butter or spread. And whisk it well and your Chocolate Ganache is ready.

Tips:- if you want your Ganache to fall through your cake then keep the Ganache little watery not very thick which use as soon as possible and use little more cream. If you want your Ganache on cake only you can make it thick by setting it side for few minutes before pouring on cake.
You can also use toblerone for Ganache. I made cake with first coating of dark chocolate Ganache and on a top sweet chocolate Ganache using Toblerone. Nice way to make professional looking cake for occassion like Valentines day, birthday parties etc.
