Ganache - Whole Grain Gourmet

What's this all about?

We love whole grains! We have found that we prefer their flavor. They are also far healthier than the refined foods which characterize the typical modern diet.

Switching to whole grains helps maintain a low glycemic diet. That means you will have more sustainable energy levels throughout the day, and probably fewer problems with weight control.

We created this website with one goal: to build an online community of like-minded people who either share our enthusiasm about whole grains or just want to learn more about them.

Ganache

This is the ultimate topping for our Decadent Chocolate Cake.

Ganache

Ingredients:

1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz 60% dark chocolate chips
1 Tbsp of your favorite liqueur

Preparation:

Bring the cream to a boil in a heavy saucepan, remove it from the heat and stir in the chocolate until it is nearly completely melted. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
Stir it very gently until it becomes uniformly smooth. Stir in the liqueur. Pour over the cake, covering the top completely while allowing it to run naturally over the sides.

Hi, is it possible to omit the liqueur? Or do I replace it with another liquid? What would be a good substitute? Thanks for your help!

Hi pearline! Sure, replace the liqueur with vanilla extract, or just leave it out.
