Best 5 Super Easy Chocolate Ganache Or Gelato Recipes

SUPER SIMPLE PERFECT CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Pour cream into a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave on high until very hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chocolate chips to heated cream; whisk until smooth.
• Place chocolate-cream mixture in the freezer until ganache is cold and starting to thicken, stirring every 5 minutes, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Spoon ganache into a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate until completely cooled, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Cut a corner from the plastic bag and pipe ganache.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE

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.

EASY CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Place chocolate and butter in a glass or other heat safe bowl.
• Heat cream in either the microwave or on the stove top until it's steaming hot with bubbles around the edges, but not boiling. Pour over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. Whisk until smooth.

SUPER-EASY CHOCOLATE GANACHE OR GELATO

Steps:

• Place heavy cream, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until just simmering and sugar is dissolved.
• Remove from heat and add chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and chocolate is melted through.
• FOR GANACHE: Let cool, stirring occasionally. When cooled completely, refrigerate until needed. You can make truffles by scooping out little melon-sized balls of ganache and roll in coconut, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts. To make cake icing, beat mixture until thick and creamy, to your desired spreading consistency.
• FOR GELATO: Let cool, stirring occasionally. When cooled to room temperature, add eggs and milk, whisking to incorporate. Return to a medium heat and cook, while continuing to stir or gently whisk, until warmed up again.
• Remove from heat and let cool, stirring occasionaly. When cooled to room temperature, place in a freezer container and freeze for at least 2 hrs before serving.

NO-FAIL , WAY EASY CHOCOLATE GANACHE

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.
