Chocolate Icing (Ganache)

I have posted a chocolate cake previously. What's another option to top a chocolate cake besides ice cream? Even more chocolate! This simple chocolate icing goes well over cakes, biscuits, and even ice cream!

Read till the end of this post to see what you can do with leftover icing.

Ingredients:

100 g chocolate, broken into pieces smaller than measuring cup hole on the lid
80 g cream, min 30% fat

Method:

	Cover	Time	Temp°C	Speed
1)  Place chocolate into mixing bowl	Yes	10 secs	-	8
2)  Scrape chocolate down with using the spatula	-	-	-	-
3)  Add cream	Yes	2 mins	50	3
4)  Serve	-	-	-	-

Note: The icing thickens quickly. 

You can do chocolate truffles with this recipe as well. Freeze the icing in the freezer for a couple of hours. Allow to thaw slightly, scoop a spoon out and roll it into a ball. Coat with cocoa powder or nuts. Store truffles in the fridge.
