Super Successful 2 Ingredient Chocolate Ganache Recipes
"Ganache sounds like such a fancy word. Must be tricky to make right? WRONG. It only involves two ingredients, but the process is a little touchy. After making hundreds of French macaron, my aunt and I finally perfected these chocolate ganache recipes–after much trial and error. We looked at dozens of chocolate ganache recipes, and it's really all about how you prepare it and the quality of the ingredients. We used a really good quality dark chocolate, and that makes a huge difference. This one isn't too difficult to make because chocolate melts fairly easily, unlike white chocolate (see below.) You can use a microwave or a double boiler."
