The weekend is coming. It’s time to relax and spend time outside enjoying the newly arrived warm weather. Or not. If your to-do list is anything like the one on my desk, Saturday is probably more of an overflow bin for tasks remaining from the week than it is a day to relax. I wonder if my wireless will reach the back deck.
Even if your schedule is packed, take some time to slow down this weekend. And while you’re at it, enjoy this fabulous ganache recipe. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and is the perfect topping for cheesecake or the first dish of summer ice cream.
Chocolate Ganache
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
2 tbl butter
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Combine whipping cream and butter in a heavy saucepan. Heat until mixture just begins to bubble around the edges. Do not boil the mixture! Pour over chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Stir until chocolate chips are melted and ganache is smooth. Drizzle over cheesecake or ice-cream. Ganache may be stored in the fridge and reheated for up to two days.
Mmm. That sounds really great. We love making homemade ice cream, and that would be a delicious topper.
That sounds wonderful! What is your recipe for the ice cream?
Yummy yum. I may have to make this very soon. :0)
