      I made half a recipe of ganache. Like another reviewer, I didn't follow the directions, but I mainly wanted the amounts of cream to chocolate. I boiled the cream in the microwave in a glass measuring cup (about 1 1/2 minutes on HIGH), then I poured the chocolate chips and butter in the hot cream. I let the mixture sit about 5 minutes, so the chips could melt, then I stirred it all up. I put in fridge to harden, so I could decorate the top of a chocolate peanut butter torte (#355398). It took about an hour to harden enough so I could put it in a ziploc baggie and pipe it on the torte. My husband was eating it out of the measuring cup. Hehe! This is an awesome recipe. Thanks for posting it!

      God Bless You for posting this fabulous EASY recipe. I have looked high & low for an easy ganache recipe and finally found it here. The only thing I did differently was to let it set out in the pan for just about half hour and then poured on my cake. Thanks once again for taking the time to post this.

      Excellent! I frosted the cake with it, then put raspberries on top. Melted the ganache to a liquid consistency and then drizzled it over the top. It got rave reviews from my friends, I will definitely make this again!

      Very easy to make and delicious. I used it on a bundt cake version of Best Ever Banana Cake #67256. I didn't let it cool but poured it directly on the cake from the pan. It made a nice shiny coating, and the flavor was perfect for the banana cake. It wasn't overly sweet, which was just what I was looking for. Thanks for a great glaze recipe!

      Very good consistency. My only comment would be don't let it chill too long in the fridge, or it gets very thick. Thanks

      Great recipe. Easy to make, just keep it on low for a while and the chocolate doesn't scorch. Put it in the freezer for 10 minutes, stirred, and then another 5 minutes until it was ready.

      I loved the ease of this recipe; I made a double layer cake and used the ganache between layers and on top. I used the ganache while warm and runny and let it run down the sides; I had enough for two layers on top and I sprinkled with coconut flakes. Just fantastic and better than frosting in my opinion

      I had a bit of a hard time with this recipe. It turned out pretty good, but it was more work than other recipes I've tried. I used semisweet mini chocolate chips. The chocolate took a long time to melt, and it started boiling before all the chocolate chips were melting. I (tried to) pipe the ganache into raspberries and strawberries. It was not quite cold/thick enough but it ended up tasting delish.

      This is excellent and so easy! This tastes like the chocolate sauce that I love (and always ask for extra) at restaurants. Who knew I could make it at home with no trouble at all? I made this twice, one time using semi-sweet chocolate chips and the other time using milk chocolate, and both times it was yummy. Thank you for posting!

      This was easy and so good! I've never made ganache before, but I wanted to make some to top #33721, Very Chocolate Cheesecake. I even kinda screwed up, after letting this sit in the fridge and whipping it, it lost that nice dark color to it, but I threw it on my still warm cheesecake anyways. It just started melting and looked awful. I scooped it back off, threw it in the microwave and melted it back down. Just poured it on and that worked much better. I think I'll just do it that way next time, rather than refrigerating it and beating it. Despite that small flub, this turned out beautifully!

      Wonderful; I've been wanting to try a ganache and this was the first time and so glad I chose this one. I did add a tsp of expresso powder to it - otherwise made exactly as listed. Used to top Light Chocolate Cake and loved it. Thanks so much for posting.

      I didn't follow the directions, but the amounts were right on for a perfect, shiny ganache. I warmed the cream, poured over the chocolate and stirred until melted and shiny, adding the butter at the end. I used this right away as a glaze. Thanks so much!
