Steps:
- Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.

NO-FAIL , WAY EASY CHOCOLATE GANACHE
After having some batches of ganache seize, turn grainy, or not quite melt the chocolate correctly, I wanted an easy way. This is shamefully easy. I use this for frosting when I'm in a hurry. It also can be shaped into balls that people who aren't purists might call truffles. About 5 minutes to make, about 30 or more to cool. (Unless you use the speedier, more labor intensive meth

Steps:
- Dump the chips and butter into a food processor.
- Bring the cream and sugar to a boil.
- Don't burn it!
- Dump cream mixture into chips, turn processor on.
- Once it's mixed, cover and stick in fridge until the mix is the right texture for frosting.
- If you're in a hurry, put some ice cubes in a big bowl, and the chocolate mix in a smaller bowl.
- Place the bowl with chocolate into the larger bowl on top of the icecubes (No! Don't put the cubes into the chocolate mix!) Stir and the mixture will thicken as it cools.
- Perfect and yummy.
- Don't work it too much or it loses its shine-- though it's always delicious.
- I imagine a blender will work-- you might have to add more cream to supply more liquid.
- I haven't tried.
- Add vanilla or, for a more grown-up taste, substitute a tablespoon of Kalua or Grand Marnier.
- For truffles, let the mix cool longer, form into balls and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor.
- Be sure to heat the cream until it is just simmering. If it boils, it will scorch the chocolate.
- Stir the ganache constantly as you are adding the chocolate. This will help to prevent it from seizing.
- Let the ganache cool completely before using it. This will allow it to thicken and set properly.
- If you are using the ganache to frost a cake or cupcakes, be sure to chill them before doing so. This will help the ganache to set more quickly.
- For the gelato, be sure to use fresh fruit. This will give it the best flavor.
- Churn the gelato according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will ensure that it is properly frozen.
- Let the gelato harden in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to fully set.
Conclusion:
Chocolate ganache and gelato are both delicious and versatile desserts. With a little practice, you can easily make them at home. These recipes are a great place to start. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
