Dark Chocolate Ganache Icing

 Dark Chocolate Ganache Icing Recipe


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! 🍫✨
