Then you&#8217;ll love this chocolate ganache for cake decoration. In my opinion, it&#8217;s the tastiest chocolate frosting of all. Now chocolate ganache for cake decoration is traditionally made with just two ingredients \u2013 cooking chocolate and whipping or heavy cream. (If you don&#8217;t have either, you could also use low fat cream like fresh milk cream.) However, remember that the higher the fat content, the more stable the ganache.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to show you four easy recipes for making chocolate ganache for cake decorating: Two traditional ways, a third chocolate ganache recipe without cream, and a fourth chocolate ganache recipe without cream and without chocolate either!!<\/p>\n<p>Chocolate ganache is a smooth and silky versatile frosting that can be used as a dip, spread, filling, or topping in cakes, and also to enhance the taste of doughnuts and eclairs. The proportion of chocolate to cream can vary from 1:1 to 3:1 by weight. But a proportion of 2:1 is a good one to go with (as you&#8217;ll see later) for you could use this as a pouring, spreading, or even a piping chocolate ganache for cake decoration depending on the standing time you give it.<\/p>\n<p>When chocolate ganache is warm, or soon after it comes to room temperature, you could in general use it as a pouring ganache. And if you let it sit for a few hours, it will thicken into a spreading ganache. And if you let it sit overnight or for around 12 hours, it will become as thick as a piping ganache.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R8qqBAtBTeg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Method 1.<\/p>\n<p>120g dark chocolate, grated<\/p>\n<p>60 g (\u00bc cup) milk cream (preferably heavy\/whipping cream)<\/p>\n<p>\u00bd tsp butter<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Method 2.<\/p>\n<p>120g dark chocolate, grated<\/p>\n<p>60 g (\u00bc cup) milk cream (preferably heavy\/whipping cream)<\/p>\n<p>\u00bd tsp butter<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Method 3.
