Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. In a small saucepan bring cream to a boil. Pour hot cream over chocolate, and let sit for 3 minutes. Whisk until thoroughly combined and slightly cooled, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

  2. Step 2

    Before using ganache, transfer it to the bowl of an electric mixer and whip on medium-low speed, just until it holds soft peaks. Do not overwhip.

Made this today and it was perfect. Made it just as instructed but only chilled it about 3 hours and it took maybe 3 minutes of whipping on medium speed to reach a good frosting consistency. Really nice milk chocolate contrast for a dark chocolate cake.

Turned out perfect. I followed the recipe exactly. I think the key is the overnight refrigerate and whipping it. I started with my balloon whisk but then moved to the whisk attachment on my mixer since my arm got tired.

Very runny - no way to save it!
