BASIC GANACHE
How to use ganache: Truffles, ice cream sauce, chocolate fondue, hot cocoa (heat 1 cup milk per serving and stir in about 1 tablesoon ganache), chocolate glaze, frosting (beat in 1/2 cup soft butter). The proportion of cream to chocolate in this recipe is right for semisweet or mildly bittersweet chocolates--not the darker eating chocolates (higher than about 60% cacao). For darker chocolates, use more cream.

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.

Steps:

- 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.
MICROWAVEABLE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
No double boiler needed! Use it for icing or filling a cake, or to make truffles. Recipes vary slightly so I wanted to post my go-to ganache so I can find it every time. And you can easily double or triple this one. My basic ganache uses a 2:1 ratio of dark chocolate to heavy cream, 3:1 ratio of white chocolate to heavy cream, somewhere in between for milk chocolate. Those measurements don't translate perfectly in a measuring cup so the 2:1 ratio is below (most common) The better the chocolate the richer the ganache. I love mixing semi-sweet with bittersweet. At room temperature it's a perfect truffle consistency. It can be flavored with extracts or liquers. Hazelnut extract makes it so yummy! Grand Marnier would be good too, but is delicious plain.

Steps:
- Put chocolate in a glass bowl. If I am intending to make a pourable ganache I use a 2°C pyrex measuring cup, then I can pour straight from it.
- Pour cream over top.
- Microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until chocolate starts to melt. Then stir, stir, stir until all the lumps are gone and it's smooth and shiny.
- Add flavorings if desired.
- Cool to desired consistency.
- Room temp and pourable is used to drizzle over cakes. Room temp and peanut butter consistency is used as a filling or icing. Chill it for a few hours to scoop out truffle balls or whip it with a chilled beater to make a whipped ganache, also for filling or icing.
