I love gnache! I just made this with orange flavored liqueur and it was divine! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome & easy! I doubled the recipe so I could make obscenely huge piles of this stuff on my chocolate cupcakes. I used boxed cake…no one even cared because the frosting was so good.
I made it the night before, used a hand mixer to mix it, scooped it into a gallon sized zip bag, put it in the fridge over night and let it sit 30 minutes before snipping the corner and icing my cupcakes.
Thanks!!!!

if you used milk chocolate and let it sit would it make a fudge like icing ?

Shannon: You can use milk, semi-sweet, or bittersweet chocolate. I use Guittard chocolate but when I don’t have any on hand, I will use chocolate chips. If you add a little more more heavy cream, you will get a more softer ganache, but as it is.. ganache is pretty soft already. It is the same filling truffles are made out of. If you want a more firm ganache, cut back on the heavy cream. I’m not sure if you want it any more softer. You can frost cakes and cupcakes just like frosting, no need to pipe it. Hope that helps!
Skwishface: It is so unbelievably easy. If you click on the link above where it says “Related Blog Post” I have posted detailed step by step photo instructions which demonstrates how simple it really is.

this looks like the perfect balance between glaze (which mine always is, which is not my fave) and frosting. thanks!

I just made this as a glaze for my husband’s birthday cake. I used semi-sweet chocolate. I was worried when I tasted it while it was warm (hey, I couldn’t help it!) because it was quite bitter, but it was perfect when it set up. Beautiful and glossy and chocolatey and decadent. I can’t wait to try it for piping. Thanks so much for the great, easy recipe!
