Today I’m sharing a super easy, fabulously delicious two-ingredient ganache drip recipe!
Ganache sounds so sophisticated and fancy, doesn’t it? Before I
became a “cake lady”, I never would have guessed how simple it is to
make. Really, just two ingredients!
What we’re working with today is heavy cream and dark chocolate.
Since we are making a glaze suitable for a beautiful decorative drip,
I’m going with a 1:1 ratio of chocolate to cream. (If I were making a
spreadable frosting, I would use a 2:1 ratio of chocolate to cream for a
semi-sweet or dark chocolate ganache.)
Let’s get started!
Here are our key players: heavy cream, chocolate, and a scale. You’ll want equal amounts of chocolate and cream by weight.
This basic recipe calls for 10 oz chocolate & 10 oz heavy cream.
This will give us plenty for a ganache drip around the sides of a cake
as well as the top, plus a bit of leftover for glazing cake layers, a
whipped ganache filling, or a little chocolatey snack ;0)
If you only need enough ganache to cover the top of a cake plus a
ganache drip, you could get away with using 8 oz. of chocolate to 8 oz
cream, but I’m always happy to have a little leftover!
My favorite way to make this simple ganache is in the microwave.
Simply pour the cream over a bowl of your chocolate, and microwave for about 1 minute.
*We used 10 oz chocolate and 10 oz cream. If you are using smaller amounts, you will not need to microwave this long.
Ganache Drip Recipe
Ingredients
- 10 oz. (283g) Chocolate (Semi-sweet or Dark) We used Ghirardelli
- 10 oz. (283g) Heavy Cream
Directions
- Place your chocolate into a microwave safe bowl.
- Pour heavy cream over the chocolate and place in the microwave for 1 minute. (Times may vary, see our note below).
- Remove and stir. Microwave for 30 seconds more and when the chocolate has melted almost completely, allow it to sit for 1 minute more before stirring. Stir until you've reached a silky smooth consistency.
- *Microwave times may vary. If you are making a smaller amount of ganache, you will reduce the microwave time. If your chocolate hasn't melted after the 1 1/2 minutes recommended in the instructions, simply microwave in small 10-15 second increments until it has nearly completely melted. Let sit one minute, then stir until smooth.
This recipe also be transformed into a delightful whipped ganache! After
