Dark Chocolate Ganache Icing

Dark Chocolate Ganache Icing Recipe

Rich and glossy, this dark chocolate ganache icing is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or even as a dip for fruit. With just two ingredients, it’s easy to make and delivers a luxurious finish every time.


Ingredients (Makes ~1.5 cups of ganache):

  • 8 oz (225 g) dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for added flavor
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter for extra shine
  • Pinch of sea salt for depth

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Cream:

    • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (do not boil). Alternatively, you can microwave the cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until hot.
  2. Combine with Chocolate:

    • Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir Until Smooth:

    • After the chocolate has softened, stir gently with a spatula or whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Optional Add-ins:

    • If using, stir in vanilla extract, butter, or a pinch of sea salt at this stage.
  5. Cool to Desired Consistency:

    • For a pourable glaze, let the ganache cool slightly before using.
    • For a spreadable frosting, allow it to cool at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

How to Use:

  • Pour Over Cakes: For a smooth finish, pour ganache over a cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  • Spread as Icing: Use a spatula to spread the ganache onto cupcakes or cakes once it thickens.
  • Whip for Fluffiness: Chill the ganache until firm, then whip with a mixer for a light and fluffy texture.

Storage:

  • Store leftover ganache in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently in the microwave or over a double boiler for reuse.

This versatile dark chocolate ganache icing will elevate any dessert with its rich, decadent flavor and silky texture! 🍫✨
