Ganache
French for ‘what diet?’. This is great served warm over ice cream or could probably be used as a cake frosting. Or just eating out of the bowl. This has a port reduction, which is not necessary if you don’t want it. It’s also possible that you’d rather drink the port and leave it out of the chocolate. That’s good too.
- 1/2 cup port
- 1/2 cup cream
- 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate. The better the chocolate…
Simmer the port until it is reduced to a couple of tablespoons, and somewhat thick. There is a transition where it clearly becomes more syrupy from the initial liquid. Pour over the chocolate. Warm cream till just off a boil. Pour over chocolate and mix till smooth.
