Good, easy to make and use ganache. This quantity spread easily over a 12x8 in slab of mudcake and gave the decorators plenty to taste too

Wonderful and easy ganache recipe. I had never made before and it turned out great. I used it to frost a truffle cheesecake and make mini truffles to go on top. Thank you.

Taste was as expected, considering the chocolate I used. It was a little grainy, but that also could have been the chocolate I used. Great easy recipe, thanks!

The ganache was very tasty, but I had some trouble with it. It hardened up pretty fast, and it was brittle and cracked pretty badly when cutting the cake. I used Valrhona extra bittersweet (71% cacao) and a high-butterfat organic cream, but since the recipe didn't specify how much more to use, I didn't increase the amount of cream. I don't think that would've caused it to be too brittle, though? Other than that, the taste was excellent--with the chocolate I used, it was rich but not too sweet, and it was perfect with the rich, black Devil's Food cake I'd made. Thanks for posting, Sharlene!
